See Glaciers and Icebergs Changing via Time Lapse Photography

See Glaciers and Icebergs Changing via Time Lapse Photography | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
Photographer James Balog shares new image sequences from the Extreme Ice Survey, a network of time-lapse cameras recording glaciers receding at an alarming rate, some of the most vivid evidence yet of climate change.
Beth Dichter's insight:

If you are studying climate change in your classroom this video from TED-Ed is well worth watching. James Balog has been a nature photographer for over 30 years and in the last six years or so has set cameras up in a number of places (primarily in the northern hemisphere) that are taking pictures and videos of the changes taking place in areas with glaciers and icebergs.

To say the least the images are amazing and to have the ability to not only see what is happening, but to hear how quickly the changes are happening is mind blowing (at least the students whom watched this video with me expressed this sentiment) and it brought forth quite a conversation.

This video is longer than most TED-Ed videos (about 19 minutes) and includes a series of questions as well as a resource. You might also want to check out the video trailer for a documentary created by Balog and his crew, Chasing Ice. The full movie runs about 75 minutes.
