Acclaimed photographer James Balog was once a sceptic about climate change. But through his Extreme Ice Survey he discovers undeniable evidence of our changing planet. In Chasing Ice Balog deploys revolutionary time-lapse cameras to capture a multi-year record of the world's changing glaciers. His hauntingly beautiful videos compress years into seconds and capture ancient mountains of ice in motion as they disappear at a breathtaking rate. Travelling with a team of young adventurers across the brutal Arctic Balog risks his career and his well-being in pursuit of the biggest story facing humanity. As the debate polarises America and the intensity of natural disasters ramps up globally Chasing Ice depicts a heroic photojournalist on a mission to deliver fragile hope to our carbon-powered planet.
