Meanwhile, Scrat, after a series of misadventures to get back his acorn, climbs the adjacent glacial wall beside them and inadvertently creates a long crack when he punctures the ice. Manny and Ellie reunite with the others atop a boulder, but the water is still rising. Cretaceous and Maelstorm ambush Manny underwater, but he tricks them into dislodging a boulder, killing them and freeing Ellie at the same time. Diego overcomes his fear of water to save Sid and the possums. Crash and Eddie are taken by the current Sid tries to save them, but is knocked unconscious on an ice block. Crash and Eddie escape through a small hole and warn Manny, who rushes back to save Ellie. Ellie, Crash, and Eddie, who took the safer yet longer way, are trapped inside a cave due to falling rocks. Just as Manny, Sid, and Diego bypass the geysers, the ice dam fails, unleashing a flood upon the valley. Manny, Sid, and Diego separate from Ellie, Crash, and Eddie when the two mammoths argue about which route is safest. After being harassed by vultures, the group finds the boat behind a field of hot geysers. The herd takes a break for the night, and while the others are asleep, Sid is kidnapped by a tribe of mini-sloths who believe him to be the God of Fire and that sacrificing him by tossing him into a volcano is the only way to stop the flood Sid narrowly escapes and reunites with the others as they wake up. Ellie begins to reciprocate Manny's feelings afterwards. Despite this bonding moment with Manny, she distances herself from him when he suggests "saving their species". Ellie and Manny ultimately reconcile when they must co-operate to save the group when the ground cracks under their feet. After a dangerous encounter with Cretaceous and Maelstrom while crossing a pond, Sid tries to teach Diego how to swim, while Ellie realizes that she is a mammoth. Manny begins to fall in love with her, but denies his feelings at first because he feels like he is replacing his deceased wife and child. Sid invites them to join their journey to the boat, and Ellie accepts. On their journey to the boat, the trio meet Ellie, a mammoth who believes she is an opossum, and Crash and Eddie, two mischievous opossums whom Ellie believes to be her brothers. Meanwhile, Cretaceous, a Cymbospondylus and Maelstrom, a Pliosauroidea-both frozen since the Mesozoic era-escape due to melting ice and seek to eat all the mammals they can during the flood. Manny is also struggling with the thought of possibly being the last mammoth alive and Diego is revealed to suffer from severe aquaphobia due to his inability to swim. A chunk of ice breaks off from the top of the dam, initiating their immediate evacuation. A vulture tells them that there is a boat at the other end of the valley that may save them, but they must reach it in three days. The trio discovers that the ice wall is actually a dam that is barely holding a reservoir that could flood the valley if it fails. Manny, Sid, and Diego live in a valley surrounded by a high ice wall on all sides.
