On their journey to the Northern Water Tribe, Team Avatar decided to make camp in the forest on the shores of this lagoon. After being informed by Avatar Roku that Sozin's Comet would return the following summer, Aang was briefed by Katara on the basic forms of waterbending and received demonstrations of certain moves from her. Much to her dismay, Aang quickly discovered his natural skill in waterbending and had little trouble mastering the moves Katara taught him, learning them almost immediately while the latter took much longer. After several minutes of tutelage, Aang created a massive wave, which, much to her annoyance, Katara lacked the skill to create, washing away the gang's supplies down the river and soaking Sokka.
