Nova - Extreme Ice movie was released Jun 16, 2009 by the WGBH Boston Video studio. Photo journalist James Balog documents Antarctica's melting icebergs.
The apparent acceleration in the melting of glaciers and ice sheets is documented through the efforts of photojournalist James Balog, who places time-lapse cameras in 26 alpine and arctic locations, including Alaska and Greenland Nova - Extreme Ice video. EXTREME ICE also speculates about the long-term consequences of the melt: sea levels would rise by some 200 feet and force massive numbers of people--from Bangladesh to Florida--to move inland.
Extreme Ice focuses on climate change shown through time-lapse cameras set by internationally acclaimed photojournalist James Balog, who has placed equipment in more than two dozen glacial locations around the world in order to assess the impact of global warming. Cameras shoot once an hour during daylight. The endeavor will build an archive of some 300,000 images over two years and is one of the most comprehensive photographic studies undertaken on shrinking glaciers and rising sea levels.
