OK. I don't know why you do this.

OK.

See ya, Buck.

All right. You, uh...

You take care of the doctor|and, uh, Jerry, OK?

Oh! Oh! Nasty!

Oh! That was disgusting!

l got dog spit all in my mouth|and my nose!

lt's not funny.

l don't see what's so funny.

All right.|Take care, guys. We'll see you.

- Bye.|- See ya.

All right, team!|Last hike of the season!

Let's go! Hike! Hike!

Come on, Jack! Come on, Old Jack!

Let's go, Maya! Come on, girl!

Whoa! Whoa!

Whoa! Whoa!

What's the problem?

We got ice fields up ahead.|l don't know how thick the ice is.

That's why we couldn't take|the snowmobiles. Look.

So, what do we do?

l'm gonna change things up.

Put the dogs|in a fan formation for safety.

lt's a little slower,|but it spreads the weight out.

That way if one of the dogs|falls through the ice,

the lead's long enough|so the rest don't follow.

Hike!

Hey, doc.

- You see that over there?|- What is that?

Here.

You see 'em?

- I see 'em. What are they?|- Leopard seals.

More leopard than seal, if you ask me.

- Give 'em a wide birth?|- Yeah, we'll give 'em some space.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Whoa, kids! Whoa!

- What was that?|- We're on a glacier now.

We're gonna have to|take her slow, doc. Get off.

l want you to take the brake.|You're gonna run the sled. All right?

Heavy brake.

Follow my footprints.|Keep the sled on my footprints.

- l'll probe ahead.|- Got it.

This glacier's always moving,|so we have to be careful.

All right, doc. Keep two feet|on the brake if you need to.

- Just keep a steady go, all right?|- All right.

All right, kids, come on! Easy, now!

Nice and easy. Let's go.

All right, stop! Stop!

All right, hard brake, right there!

We got a crevasse right here.

l'm not sure how big it is,|so we're gonna go around. OK.

We're gonna bring it over this way.|Slow and easy.

l'm gonna call Maya over,

and then l just want you|to let up ever so lightly, all right?

- All right, got it.|- All right, Maya, haw! Haw!

Haw! Haw!

Max, what are you doing?

Max, no. Haw!

Max! Stop! Stop, Max! Doc, stop!

No!

Hold on, doc!

Doc! Put both hands on the sled!|Both hands on the sled, doc!

Hike! Come on, Jack, take it home!

Come on, Maya, take her home!

Come on! Hike!

Oh, man!

You OK?

Yeah.

Do me a favor.

Next time you decide to go to Melbourne,|don't pack so much stuff.

And try coming a bit earlier.

Andy said the trip was fine.|You agreed to go.

Andy's my boss. l do what he says.

lf you didn't think it was safe,|you shouldn't have backed down.

Easy.

Jerry, thanks for today.

Yeah. No problem.

Who's the artist?

My son, Eric.

He does one every trip.

He looks like your wife.

Lucky kid.

Yeah.
