That's where the white knight comes into play. Both kings are more or less stuck thanks to the pawns. White can always trade the lone pawn for a knight and if the black knight leaves white can take the last pawn.
White can't take the black knight. Black can't defend c1.

ps. sorry if Im being incomplete, I think you get the picture.
