The Council was absolutely not in favor of Furiosa visiting other worlds. The Nexus proper is risky enough, as Winter proved. But she already made a commitment to help Thor's people in any way she could, and after learning that his world and Rocket's are connected, after hearing more of what's happened, she is determined. And the Council of the Green Towers learned that Furiosa is still perfectly capable of putting her foot down, making a decision and sticking to it doggedly whether anyone else likes it or not.
In short, she argued them into doing what she wanted, and if anyone was surprised, they shouldn't have been.
She arrives on the island with an escort: two War Boys from her old crew, the most loyal and reliable she's got, aside from the Ace. The taller of the two, dark-skinned and broad-shouldered but with a sweet, youthful face, is Crux. The smaller is Spanner, and he bears some unfortunate burn scars on one arm and across his forehead and throat, and maybe elsewhere on his body, too, for the way he walks, but his blue eyes are bright and alert. He's an observer, and no less protective of his old boss than their larger companion.
The trio arrive via PINpoint, with Crux and Furiosa carrying gifts. The Citadel doesn't have much to share, but they had a bumper crop this year, thanks to the gifts of so many seeds (and perhaps some kind of indirect blessing from Hazel). They've brought cut sugar cane, a few sacks of sorghum and dried fruit, and some tanned pig and camel hides. Mostly it's meant to be a friendly token. Anything the Asgardians really need they can discuss later.
They land close to the sea, and while Furiosa anticipated the cold and dressed herself and the boys accordingly, she did not expect this heaving, chilly, salt-smelling desert of water, and all three of them are transfixed, lost in awe at the sight of it. Whoever notices and comes to meet them will hear soft murmuring, the woman explaining to the two younger men: "...fish comes from, yes. Well, some come from freshwater, too, but the sea is much bigger. Do you know what tides are? It's when the moon pulls on all that water and makes it come up higher on the shore."

"Wait, how high?" Spanner sounds nervous. "It ain't gonna drown us?"
"No, no, just a couple feet. Look, when we go home I'll read you a book about it."
