Since 2007, James Balog, a National Geographic photographer, has been working in some of the most extreme conditions on locations in Iceland, Greenland, Alaska, Montana...etc., establishing cameras using the time lapse filming technique to monitor the changes of ice sheets.
To reveal the influences of climate change, James founded the Extreme Ice Survey (EIS), the most ground-based photographic study of glaciers. Director Jeff Orlowski also has participated in this project, filming the glaciers now appear in the documentary feature film Chasing ice.
After watching the trailer, I find it breathtakingly beautiful, yet sorrowful. Sometimes one photo is more than a thousand words, moreover, hope this film can help people understand more about the changing planetary scenarios.
