What is the title of the first episode of Avatar: The Last Airbender?
Answer
The Boy in the Iceberg
The first episode of Avatar: The Last Airbender is titled “The Boy in the Iceberg.” It is the series premiere and introduces Aang, Katara, Sokka, Appa, and Prince Zuko.
The episode opens with Katara and Sokka fishing near the Southern Water Tribe. Katara’s uncontrolled waterbending brings an iceberg to the surface, revealing Aang and Appa trapped inside. Aang has been frozen for 100 years, unaware that the Fire Nation has been waging war across the world.
The title describes the mystery at the center of the premiere: a young boy is found encased in ice. It is sometimes confused with “The Avatar Returns,” which originally aired alongside it as the second episode. Together, the two episodes establish Aang’s identity as the Avatar and begin his journey toward mastering the elements.
