eTown host Nick Forster interviews photographer, author and activist James Balog about his work toward raising awareness for environmental responsibility and his latest film CHASING ICE. James Balog has been a leader in photographing, understanding and interpreting the natural environment for three decades. An avid mountaineer with a graduate degree in geography and geomorphology, James is equally at home on a Himalayan peak or a whitewater river, the African savannah or polar icecaps. To reveal the impact of climate change, James founded the Extreme Ice Survey (EIS), the most wide-ranging, ground-based, photographic study of glaciers ever conducted. National Geographic showcased this work in the June 2007 and June 2010 issues. The project is also featured in the 2009 NOVA documentary "Extreme Ice", and in the feature-length documentary, "Chasing Ice," premiering at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2012.
