Geography[]
The Summer Current is located on the south side of the Sea-Known-As-Woden's-Bathtub. The Summer Current leads to Hysteria from the South, and Mount Villainy from the North.
This current is distinguished by the constant presence of a bloodthirsty dragon species, known as Sharkworms.

How to Speak Dragonese[]
The young Hooligans that were part of the Pirate Training Program led by Gobber the Belch were sailing on the Sea-Known-as-Woden's-Bathtub. Hiccup's and Fishlegs' ship, The Hopeful Puffin, was bumped into the Summer Current by Snotlout's and Dogsbreath's ship, Sparrowhawk.
Once in the current, the two boys encountered a Roman ship, and possibly saw Sharkworms, though it may have been a trick of the fog and paranoid minds.
