Description

You there!

You look like you have some wits about you. We could use some more able bodies in Icecrown.

You may have heard rumors of our failure in assaulting the glacier from the ground, but let me set those concerns to rest. We're now mounting our assault from one of the most advanced pieces of engineering known to Azeroth, the Skybreaker. The Horde don't stand a chance, and neither does Arthas.

Speak to me when you're ready to depart.

Learned Cold Weather Flying in Dalaran and was immediately offered this quest at lvl 77. In addition to the 5500xp for the quest turn-in, I also received 19500xp for explorations on the way to the ship and discovered the following:
The Decrepit Flow, Ironwall Dam, The Broken Front, Mord'rethar: The Death Gate, The Valley of Lost Hope, The Bombardment, Aldur'thar: The Desolation Gate, Icecrown, and Ymirheim.

Judging by the names, I'm pretty sure this place is going to be all rainbows and sunshine.
