Chasing Ice: A Treasure Worth Saving

CHASING ICE is a feature-length film that follows Balog’s Extreme Ice Survey, a historic documentation of retreating glaciers in some of the most remote regions on the planet. Balog and his team have devised revolutionary time-lapse systems to capture monumental geological transformations in action. Their cameras compress years into seconds to show landscapes disappearing at a breathtaking rate.

  1. Wow! That time lapse photography is really something. Now, this is the sort of thing that needs to be put into the hands of every member of parliament in this country.

    Even if it didn’t wake them up, they could no longer say we are not losing our glaciers and ice fields.

    Very impressive body of work.
