Nature Photographer James Balog Captures Icecaps Melting Before Our Eyes

Way back in September, we told you about "extreme nature photographer" James Balog, and all the fine work he does capturing the essence of the natural world. But he's really gone above and beyond with his latest project, in which he is capturing the disappearance of the icecaps. His goal is to show us "the most visible, tangible manifestations of climate change on the planet today." Take a look. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaTcsyNrEec There's nothing I can really add to that video, except mention that you can see a slideshow of some of the gorgeous images here, and listen to the NPR Fresh Air interview here. Once you've done those things, you can takepart with the Extreme Ice Survey, which Balog founded. I assure you all those links are more than worth your time. Oh, and you can also watch the NOVA special online here. I know I've given you a lot of links without actually adding a lot of content myself, but I think Balog's work and words go far beyond anything I could tell you.
