When Flight 815 came hurtling towards the beach, it represented a breach of an Eden the Others had dedicated their lives to protecting. The Island itself is a living entity, powered by electromagnetic forces that the Others have managed to harness, a sort of snow globe that separates the power within from the outside world. Its security breached, the island has now been discovered by the outside world, and is at the mercy of the U.S. government which fears its potential, and aims to destroy it. Penny Widmore is given a two-day window to save any survivors and face the Smoke Monster, which is the personified spirit of the island itself. Locke offers himself as a sacrifice for the rest of his comrades, most of whom quit the island with Penny.
Another smaller group, needing the healing properties of the area to survive, escapes to the "alcatraz" island with Juliet. In the end, the Island itself is sacrificed to the gods of beauracracy as it is utterly destroyed from existence by a rain of government missiles. When the smoke clears, we find the island's annihilated corpse . . . in the Antarctic, where it lived all along.
