Sayid observing the cliff. There are mountains throughout the Island, including at least one volcano in the South. There are two main ridges, both stretching from North to South.
The valley between the mountain ridges contains rivers , streams, and waterfalls. Part of it is known as the North Valley. There is also a lake located next to the sonar fence. An area named Pascal Flats is shown on Ben's map , however, not much is known of this area other than it is south of the Barracks and the Pearl , and southwest of the radio tower. Olivia Goodspeed explains the Island's volcanic activity. There is at least one volcano on the Island.
Olivia mentions to her class how the Island had volcanic reactions occurring "a long time ago", suggesting it was dormant or extinct. There are several clues to the Island being volcanic. The general topography of the Island is typical of a volcanic island, such as the apparent lava-formed coastlines.
The powdery substance surrounding Jacob's cabin also looked similar to volcanic ash. The sign Bernard was making in " S. Moreover, The Barracks appear to sit in a crater-like formation, possibly a caldera or volcanic crater. Finally, Jack and Sayid surmised that the Swan 's power source was geothermal. While volcanic activity is not required for geothermal power, it makes the process much easier.
When Desmond removes the cork stone within the Heart in " The End ", temporarily extinguishing the light, the hole where the cork resided fills with the orange glow of "unseen molten activity," [1] and the entire Island including Hydra Island begins to shake and disintegrate.
It thus appears that the Heart is at least partly responsible for holding volcanic and seismic activity on the Island at bay, and that it is volcanic activity that threatens to destroy the Island in the series finale.
The Black Rock. Sites remain from a number of Island crashes and shipwrecks. The Black Rock stood deep in the jungle till it exploded in The Drug smugglers' plane was perched above the Pearl for some years before it fell to the ground below. Henry Gale's balloon still hangs in a tree.
Flight 's tail crashed in the water, and its the tide swept away most of its middle section , but its cockpit remains in the jungle. Jack plays golf. Oceanic 's passengers created several locations to survive on the seemingly deserted Island. They lived at a beach camp , though some temporarily lived in caves.
They made a garden to grow food and a graveyard for their dead. They began building a church , which later turned into a sweat lodge. The tail section survivors built a tiger pit for prisoners. The survivors also made a golf course for recreation, and they sometimes swam at a waterfall. Most of these stations have been destroyed, abandoned, ceased functioning, or are in a general state of disrepair. They also built several docks, including the wharf and the Pala Ferry.
Horace Goodspeed built a cabin. They lived in one camp in the s and set up another near the beach after they left the Barracks. They used a primitive village while in the Barracks to hide their true nature, and a door at the entrance mimicked the entrance to a DHARMA station. The Others also built a runway on Hydra Island. Many of the group lived at an ancient Temple. The Man in Black briefly set up a separate camp. Locke at the ruins. Ancient societies built a statue of Taweret where Jacob lived, the Temple where the Others lived and other structures that remained as ruins.
An ancient stone doorway led to a chamber that summoned the Monster , and other tunnels formed an underground network. The Man in Black's people dug wells , including a subterranean chamber that eventually housed the frozen wheel. Jacob used a lighthouse to observe his candidates , and these names also appeared in a cave located halfway down a sea cliff.
A stone bench stood somewhere between the Black Rock and the Statue thousands of years ago. Among the Island's vegetation are Banyan trees and fruit-bearing mango, papaya, and guava plants. There are also bananas, passion fruit, coconuts and some star fruit. Native animals encountered by the survivors include wild chicken, bees, tree frogs, and spiders.
From the sea, sea turtles, various types of fish, shellfish, and sea urchin have been found. The Island is also in the path of tagged migratory seagulls. The Island has a number of animal species not native to the South Seas, including boars , Mikhail 's cat Nadia, and a domesticated dove. The Others also kept cattle at the Flame , and at least two horses have been seen: one ridden by Bea Klugh , and a mysterious black horse seen by Kate and Sawyer.
The DHARMA Initiative brought certain non-native animals, such as polar bears , sharks , rabbits , and dolphins, to Hydra Island and modified them to an unknown degree. After the Purge , the polar bears escaped and made their way to the main island and beyond. Photo in Lamp Post taken by U. The U. Army discovered and infiltrated the Island on September 23 , as is evidenced by a photograph pinned on a wall in the Lamp Post station beneath a church in Los Angeles.
Eloise Hawking explained that the Island is accessible through "windows" that open at different locations for limited periods of time. She found a particular window for the Oceanic Six to get back to the Island and had them take Ajira Flight to access it.
Lamp Post marker showing the post-moving location of the Island " ". The pilot of Oceanic Flight , Seth Norris said the plane had lost radio contact before the crash and had changed course towards Fiji.
He estimated they were miles off course by the time they crashed. The flashsideways show what would have happened had the plane landed safely in Los Angeles. All season long, viewers see the characters rubbing shoulders with one another in Los Angeles, unaware of the events of the past five seasons.
So, to clear up the confusion: in the flashsideways scenes, these characters are dead. But no, they were not dead all along after the plane crashed. The flashsideways scenes depict an afterlife that the characters constructed for themselves due to the fact that their time on the island — which was completely real from start to end — was the most important part of their respective lives.
The characters present in that final church scene are characters both dead and alive in island time, meaning several characters including Kate, Sawyer and Claire went on to live a full life beyond the series finale. These flashsideways scenes present a purgatory-of-sorts, where these characters come to when they eventually do die whenever that may be.
Nobody does it alone, Jack. You needed all of them and they needed you. Again, let those words sink in. The plane ride from Sydney that never landed in LA? What happened that was so important? Did they all just really bond over their affection for the Oceanic Airlines brand of peanuts?
There's a mantra repeated often in Lost : Whatever happened, happened. It's meant as a motto to say that you can't change the past even if you can travel to it , but it's important here, too: Whatever happened on the Island happened. Yes, now. He died, but instead of letting go and moving "on" to Heaven or wherever you believe one moves on to after death , he woke up in this weird Purgatory-esque place where the Oceanic plane didn't crash, where he had a son and where none of the plane crash survivors recognize each other.
Charlie went to the same place when he died in the Looking Glass station. Locke the real one went there when he was strangled off-Island. Sun and Jin go there after drowning in the submarine. These are all deaths that occur at different times, during events of the show that actually happen y'know, in the context of the fiction. Not really, no. If the overwhelming evidence within the show itself isn't enough to convince you, then the show's co-creator Damon Lindelof in an interview with The Verge , laid it out very plainly himself.
In the interview, posted online as a video in , interviewer Joshua Topolsky himself fell into the "they're all dead" trap, explaining that his thoughts upon finishing the series was, "All the things that just happened didn't really mean anything. They kind of didn't happen. But that's wrong. That happened Anything that takes place on the Island in Lost happened.
Absolutely, percent. The plane crashed, those people survived. He even goes beyond the show, explaining a bit about what happens after the final credits rolled. I've noticed that some though definitely not all people who were disappointed with how Lost ended felt cheated because they built it all up to that one moment.
They were looking for one Sixth Sense -esque twist at the end, so when they thought they found it in fact, when they thought they found the exact same twist , they dismissed the entire work of fiction. But Lost had stopped being all about the mysteries a long while earlier.
It wasn't about polar bears or weird voices or why women couldn't get pregnant on the island. It was about people. It was about spirituality. It was about the nature of man.
