Chasing Ice

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.  The result of this assignment is the phenomenal documentary, Chasing Ice.  

Within months of that first trip to Iceland, the Mr. Balog 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.  

Chasing Ice, winner of 23 awards at film festivals around the world, is a must-see documentary illustrating undeniable evidence of climate change.  Don't miss it - shows at the Boulder Theater on Wednesday, January 9th and Thursday, January 10th at 8pm.  Doors open at 7:30 and there will be a Q&A following the film with James Balog, Lead and director of Extreme Ice Survey, and Svavar Jonatansson, Icelandic Field Coordinator.
