A longtime guest of Mountainfilm, James Balog uses his photography to document changes taking place in the natural world — be it old growth forests, animals or polar ice. His latest project, the Extreme Ice Survey (EIS), uses a series of time-lapse cameras to chronicle the rapid recession of glaciers around the world and is the focus of the film Chasing Ice (Mountainfilm 2012). Balog is the subject of the film A Redwood Grows in Brooklyn (Mountainfilm 2005) and has appeared on numerous television shows, including a NOVA special about EIS.
