Greenland’s melting ice sheets have been captured on film closer then ever before.
Photographer James Balog says he was once a skeptic about climate change, but his latest project, the Extreme Ice Survey, appears to have changed his mind.
Chasing Ice, which is in cinemas from December 14, chronicles collapsing ice sheets in Greenland’s Ilulissat glacier.
