James Balog's climate change documentary: Chasing Ice.Earlier this week, my son and I attended an IMAX screening of the documentary “**_[Chasing Ice](http://www.chasingice.com/ "chasing ice climate change documentary")_**” at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science followed by a Q&A session with [James Balog](http://www.jamesbalog.com/ "James Balog"), the acclaimed National Geographic photographer and the man behind the [Extreme Ice Survey (EIS](http://www.jamesbalog.com/portfolios/extreme-ice-survey/ "Extreme Ice Survey EIS")). The EIS uses time-lapse photography to document the movement of glaciers on this planet.

Let me tell you: the documentation is mind-blowing. In a few short years, sped up through time-lapse photography, we watch glaciers receding a dozen miles and deflating enough to expose new vistas. It’s all there, climate change before our eyes, in artistically stunning photographic reality.

Exalted at the Sundance Film Festival and others, a Best Song nomination bringing it 50 seconds of video at the Oscars, and the subject of several TED talks, **_Chasing Ice_** will be coming to the National Geographic channel, Netflix, and other venues soon. Watch for it.
