Chasing Ice is an incredible
documentary that follows the project of National Geographic photographer James Balog.
His goal is to capture changing glaciers in Iceland, Greenland, Alaska, and
Montana. He sets designed cameras to capture the change in these glaciers in a
long period of time. Balog believes that there is an existing interaction between humans and
nature that is endangering the wiled life. As humans we are
contributing to a drastic change in our environment and pushing it to move
outside of its normal behavior.
What impacted me the most were the
statements that Balog made about the physical change that is already existent
and scientifically proven- our air is changing, our agriculture is changing,
the biology of plans and animals are changing and we are very ignorant and/or indifferent
about the subject. Balog is only one of the many messengers out there in the world
who are fighting for an improvement and racing awareness about our
environmental problems.
Balog uses videos and beautiful
pictures of nature to show how humans are affecting the natural behavior of our
environment and I think that is a very powerful message.
