I can give you the guided tour ## Climate warning Fonda says the icebergs are a climate warning, with warming waters making the creature's eggs impossible to survive. > And it’s just getting warmer ## The Crockers' plan The Crockers want to move Snook's Arm for mining, but the creature's presence makes them vulnerable to the town's resistance. > The Crockers will be back. The glaciers are still melting ## Family reunion Calvin and Wade reunite with the rest of the family, with Wade taking the wheel of the boat. > Wade’s his own man. He can do what he likes ## The cosmic moment Calvin and Fonda share a moment of connection as they watch the iceberg move away, realizing they are both 'lonely animals' facing the same future. > They’re two lonely animals ## The ending The show ends with Calvin squinting at the horizon, knowing the icebergs are a climate threat, not a solution. > It’s just getting warmer ## The creature's fate The creature's eggs die in warm waters, leaving no offspring and the Crockers to face the consequences of their actions. > Water’s too warm ## The family's future Calvin and his family face a climate crisis, with the icebergs becoming a symbol of the changing world. > It’s the only thing keeping the lights on right now ## Key takeaway Calvin and Fonda move an iceberg to protect Snook's Arm from a climate threat, ending with a shared future.
