Bridge of No Return

The Bridge of No Return was a rope bridge located in the mountains of the Southern Water Tribe. The bridge used to serve as punishment for criminals of the South who would have to walk across it and never return. The terrain on the other side of the bridge was the most treacherous in the entire South Pole, making it impossible to survive.

History
The bridge was the meeting point Gilak had chosen for the exchange between Earth King Kuei and Hakoda. While Gilak and his army stood on one end of the bridge, Hakoda and Team Avatar stayed on the other side. In order to ensure that everything would go according to plan, Gilak sent three chi blockers over the bridge who chi blocked the team, after which Hakoda and Kuei were sent onto the bridge.

Once the two reached the center, Gilak attempted to cut the bridge, but was stopped from doing so by Malina and three of Toph's earthbending students. Refusing to give up, Gilak took hold of a torch and proceeded with his plan, stepping on the bridge to set the ropes on fire. The attempt was yet again foiled, this time by Zuko who managed to extuingish the fire with his firebending. However, a part of the bridge already had caught fire which had burned through the ropes, causing them to tear apart, upon which the bridge collapsed. Using her earthbending, Toph tried to steady the columns to buy the team some time, so they could rescue the others who were on the dangling bridge. In the process, Gilak tried to kill Malina but failed, causing his hand to slip. He subsequently fell into the ravine to his death.
