"Chasing Ice"
Posted: Wed Oct 09, 2013 4:44 pm
Just saw this documentary with the wife. Some gorgeous visuals. They placed several dozens of cameras to photograph the movement of glaciers around the world over 3 - 4 years.
This is a clip from the film. For three weeks, two photographers camped out in front of one of the word's most active glaciers, in order to film a "calving" event. They wound up filming the largest such event ever recorded. As they show in this clip with an overlay for scale, the area that calved away from the glacier was the size of a good chunk of Manhattan island.
The film is available on Netflix DVD & streaming.
