Extreme Ice Survey: time-lapse photography of Alaska glaciers
Category: Climate Change: Arctic/Alaska and Global, For Educators
Resource Type: Multiple formats
Date Posted: 08/01/2010

Photographer James Balog has set up time-lapse cameras to observe glaciers melting in locations around the world, including the rapid melt and thinning of Greenland ice sheets. This site has links to footage of Mendenhall and Columbia Glaciers, the latter of which has retreated 1.9 miles in two years, and background information about glaciers and climate change. Balog also did an excellent TED talk, archived here.
