This film let's its stunning images and film footage deliver a haunting but essential message about climate change: it is not only happening, but it may be happening very rapidly.
Watch the film. Share the film.

A real eye opener and phenomenal capture of nature!

This is a MUST SEE for as many people as possible to warn everyone about the crisis of global warming. The large world industries wall say that global warming is a hoax and/or just a brief cyclical thing. That's because they are making so much money they don't want to change anything.
BUT, warming IS a fact of life - caused by large industries who have trained the public to totally rely on fossil fuels, thereby causing global warming - instead of seriously looking for other energy sources (the sun, for instance)
This film clearly shows the results of industrial destruction of Mother Earth caused by overuse of fossil fuels. There is no better evidence of this than the melting of glaciers and ice caps caused by man.

This was too much of a movie about making a movie. As a rock climber and mountaineer, I'm aware that there are stresses involved in going to the areas to set up equipment and monitor it, but there should have been less drama of that and more-of the constant footage of the time lapse film that was shot. The attention to the difficulties encountered took attention away from the greater problem that was the reason for the film.

The documentary provides an artistic and activist perspective to the climate crisis in a breathtaking way. Everyone should watch this film

One the most important films I have seen in a long time. If this doesn't make you stop and think about how important an issue climate change is, I don't think there is any hope for you.

Seeing IS believing! This is the best "eyes on" evidence of climate change that I am aware of. It includes a great balance of photography, technical explanation and perseverance in completing this great project. In a desire to help spread the story, I purchased the CD as a loaner to friends and family who would never have the opportunity to view it themselves.

The film, CHASING ICE is a "message in a bottle" - a major argument for climate change is "spoken" by the visual images. Having seen this film several times, it is always fascinating to watch the audience and listen to their responses during Q & A. An excellent effort which could have been improved with "educator input" as to script and narration.

We sold out a 700 seat theater for a showing of Chasing Ice in Syracuse, NY. People loved it. What more can I say.

I knew our planet was in trouble but the tenacious research and visual proof introduced by the efforts of James Balog caught me off guard. His photography is stunning and captures the beautiful history of the glaciers through the eyes of an artist as well as a scientist.
This film should be a wake up call and my hope is people all over the world will share it with friends, neighbors and family.

Incredible photography combined with gripping scenery of staggering calving glaciers. This is an amazing display of dedication in the pursuit of art and science, a visual demonstration of the vast effects of global warming.

What an extraordinary film! The scenery is astonishing in its beauty and magnificent forms like sculpture. The calving of the glacier in Greenland caught on film is mind-boggling! James Balog, the photographer, is a hero. What he acomplished here is is important. His incredible zeal and determination in the face of formidable odds is inspiring. And the result with the support of many people is this story now preserved in film of a world dying right before our eyes. Without this effort the story would have been lost forever. This is real - no political nonsense or propaganda here. Just the real science and the real images telling us what the data of science has been proclaiming for a long time now: global warming is real, it's a serious problem, and humans are responsible for it. I am a scientist myself, and I will tell it like it is in my classrooms - showing this film - and not idly sit by toward the immorality of the fossil fuel funded climate denials. Congratulations EIS - Extreme Ice Survey - on a job well done!
