SUMMARY:"Chasing Ice" hosted by the Geography dept. with director Q&A following
DESCRIPTION:
 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. Even with a 
 scientific upbringing, Balog had been a skeptic 
 about climate change. But that first trip 
 north opened his eyes to the biggest story in 
 human history and sparked a challenge within 
 him that would put his career and his very 
 well-being at risk. 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. As the debate polarizes 
 America and the intensity of natural disasters 
 ramps up globally, Balog finds himself at the 
 end of his tether. Battling untested technology 
 in subzero conditions, he comes face to 
 face with his own mortality. It takes years 
 for Balog to see the fruits of his labor. His 
 hauntingly beautiful videos compress years into 
 seconds and capture ancient mountains of 
 ice in motion as they disappear at a breathtaking 
 rate. Chasing Ice depicts a photographer 
 trying to deliver evidence and hope to our carbon-powered 
 planet.\n\n
