*** In the animation series it was underwater until it came up because of Katara. An brief flashback of Sozin hunting down the Avatar showed his ship overpassing the iceberg in South Pole waters not long after the genocide of Airbenders happened.

** Bumi knew the Avatar was going be an Airbender and 16 years after Aang disappeared it would became clear that The Avatar Cycle didnt go to an Waterbender because either the cycle was broken if the Avatar was killed in the Avatar State or Airbender holding the responsibility of Avatar went into hiding like an coward like the cynical population of the remaining 3 nations believed. Bumi recognized Aang and knew his childhood friend was powerful so when he showed up a century later not having aged a day. Bumi instantly knew Aang was the Avatar even before Aang told him about the Ice he made inadvertently with the Avatar State which he was trapped in for a century.

**Katara may have started out bending away from the village where she wouldn't be observed. Without witnessing her causing ice to shear off, who would notice another piece of an iceberg in the South Pole region?

**A few things probably went into this. The Fire Nation may have assumed that all hand were lost on the ship carrying Aang. Also, most icebergs (which Aang's sphere qualified as) are A) opaque and B) usually given a wide berth by ships since they tend to have the larger part underwater. The ships probably didn't get close enough to see it was strange. When he got to the Southern Water Tribe's fishing grounds, they got much closer. It is also possible that the ice of the sphere sheared off revealing a translucent face so they could see him.

** Perhaps the glow effect was more localized in this adaptation. Of the Fire Nation soldiers close enough to the South Pole to experience the aftereffects of Aang’s return, Zuko could very well be the only one Avatar-obsessed enough to have authentic idols that were sufficiently spiritually infused or whatever to start glowing. Ever since the Fire Nation decided to murder the Avatar, I doubt the Yangchen Funko Pops have been selling too well among firebenders. Zuko, meanwhile, has become a borderline Avatar historian over the past three years of hunting Aang, and it would make sense for him to have picked up some Avatar relics along the way.

** All the lights going off was a hint that something had happened involving the Avatar, yes. And the Fire Sages confirmed it. But ''finding'' the Avatar is something else entirely, and ''that'' is what Zhao confirmed. He's not just off on some island doing Avatar things, he's close enough for the Fire Nation to theoretically grab.

* In the original show, when Aang entered the Avatar State for the first time, it triggered the glow in Avatar artifacts, paintings, statues, in every nation around the world, signaling to them that the Avatar had finally returned. "Oh, it's an adaptation; they must have changed that," but then I remembered how all of Zuko's small Avatar totems proceeded to glow when Aang emerged from the ice and just exiting the Avatar State. Aang even enters the Avatar State for the first time as he did in the original show for good measure. "Oh, Ozai must have obviously known ahead of time and only informed Azula to make her jealous of Zuko's success at finding the Avatar!" But, no, Ozai says out loud to himself (and by himself) that "The Avatar has returned," so he appears to indeed learn of the Avatar's return through Zhao's letter. So, why wouldn't the Fire Nation already know that the Avatar had returned? They have Fire Sages, right? Isn't that their one and only job at this point?

** There are plenty of strategic reasons why sacrificing a division might by a good idea. Maybe Earth Kingdom reinforcements were coming to break the siege and they didn't have time to wait them out. Maybe the majority of the forces were needed elsewhere, and the situation needed to be resolved quickly. Not to mention that one of the themes is the Fire Nation "burning the weak for the sake of the strong" even when it's not actually necessary.

** It wasn't ''just'' a distraction. Ozai was genuinely hoping that the North would fall and/or the Avatar would be handled. But it also helped because anyone who saw the massive force heading north would assume that he wasn't making any other major offensives at the same time. He didn't need the navy to attack Omashu, so he was able to sneak in a small but powerful force over land while their defenses were relatively low.

** The world was just starting to get ready for the attack; that's why the Air Nomads just barely told Aang he was the Avatar. Furthermore, the Nomads are pacifists. They have no military experience. Their plan was "go down to the Earth Kingdom and they'll tell us how to fight," not "instantly switch to a military footing and begin scouting missions."

** Presumably they tried, and failed. The Fire Nation was well aware of the capabilities of airbenders, and of their tendency to avoid conflict. And as noted higher on the page, any survivors were found and killed over the next hundred years through various means, such as by baiting them in with airbender relics.
