Film Screening – Chasing Ice
In the spring of 2005, acclaimed
environmental photographer James Balog headed to the Arctic on a tricky
assignment for National Geographic - to capture images to help tell the story
of the Earth's changing climate. Chasing Ice is the story of one man's mission
to change the tide of history by gathering undeniable evidence of our changing
planet. Within months of that first trip to Iceland, the photographer conceived
the boldest expedition of his life: The Extreme Ice Survey. With a band of
young adventurers in tow, Balog began deploying revolutionary time-lapse
cameras across the brutal Arctic to capture a multi-year record of the world's
changing glaciers.
