Next stop for Berserk on its rout towards the South Pole is Papua New Guinea in the West Pacific. There a new recruit enlists, the American rocket scientist 'Rocket'. In Papa New-Guniea, the Berserk-crew tries to find a wife for Samuel Massie. By local customs, chances improves considerably with nice jewelry and a large pig. Thus a pig hunt is inevitable, which proves to be quite the challenge.

Berserk sets course towards New Zealand. Jarle pushes his crew hard to ensure they will manage the tough tour in the Southern Ocean. The guys reflect over the next weeks challenges and it becomes obvious that the American, Rocket, is not the right person as a machinist. Berserk need a captain when Jarle is on the ice and Tom Gisle Bellika finally comes on board. He was with Berserk through the Northwest Passage and has always been intended role as captain of the polar voyage. Berserk is now ready for shipping and tons of equipment is loaded on board. The crew is prepared for the toughest part of the expedition to the South Pole.
