ABOUT

Acclaimed National Geographic photographer James Balog was once a skeptic about climate change. But through his Extreme Ice Survey, he discovered undeniable evidence of our changing planet. Using revolutionary time-lapse cameras to capture a multi-year record of the world’s changing glaciers, Balog’s hauntingly beautiful images compress years into seconds and capture ancient mountains of ice in motion as they disappear. Traveling with a team of adventurers across the brutal Arctic, Balog risks his life and career in pursuit of the biggest, most polarizing story facing humanity. CHASING ICE depicts a photojournalist on a mission to deliver fragile hope to our carbon-powered planet.
