This documentary film is beautifully shot and tells the devastating story of the depletion of our glaciers. The rapid shrinkage is frightening. This decline effects the planet on a large scale as you will discover if you buy this unbelievable film. The journey the photographer goes through to get this footage is nothing short of astounding.
In Chasing Ice, James Balog – photographer, father, and adventurer, was an initial climate change skeptic. Yet his growing love of photographing the surreal beauty of ancient ice formations lead him to realise the reality of how fast our planets ice formations are changing – and the need to capture it on film to convince others as to the nature of the change. With considerable difficulty he establishes the Extreme Ice Survey, and in the process captures some of the most spectacular and alarming footage.
This is challenging for skeptical arguments. For the rest of us, the alarm is sounding – tectonic change has arrived.
Chasing Ice is an award winning 2012 documentary following National Geographic photographer James Balog and his Extreme Ice Survey as they capture a multi year record of glaciers and the effects of climate change.
The planet is changing… right before our eyes..
Follow National Geographic photographer James Balog across the Arctic as he deploys time-lapse cameras designed for one purpose: to capture a multi-year record of the world's changing glaciers. As frightening and fascinating as it is breathtakingly beautiful, CHASING ICE is a hymn to our changing planet, and a plea for its salvation.

Chasing Ice Reviews
“Still an eco-sceptic? Clap your eyes on this lot. Awe-inspiring, terrifying, transcendently beautiful, and absolutely weighted with significance for the future of the planet.” Time Out
“The most important documentary of the year.” Detroit News
“If any film can convert the climate-change sceptics, Chasing Ice would be it: here, seeing really is believing.” Guardian UK
“If you're looking for eye-popping evidence that the world's glaciers are melting, don't miss the small-scale but spectacular documentary, Chasing Ice.” Entertainment Weekly
“The rapid disappearance of ice mountains, filmed over a period of years, is compressed through time-lapse technology into minutes and seconds. The speeded-up effect is harrowing and also, disturbingly, eerily beautiful.” Christian Science Monitor
