What is the theme of chasing ice?
The thesis of the film “Chasing Ice” is to portray the extreme climate change we are facing today. The film has a clear goal of showing visually the danger we are causing our planet by denying climate change.

What is Chasing Ice rated?
Age Appropriate For: 13+. Some cursing, but it’s a moment-of-passion thing. Otherwise, the film is a really important must-see, not only because of its definitive documentation of the impact of global warming but for how beautiful and devastating it is.
What global issues are addressed in Chasing Ice?
Chasing Ice is a 2012 documentary film about the efforts of nature photographer James Balog and his Extreme Ice Survey (EIS) to publicize the effects of climate change.
How do you take pictures of glaciers?
Place a polarizing filter on the end of your lens. A polarizing filter helps cut down on haze, darken colors and cause the details of a glacier to stand out in stark contrast to the sky. Compose your images using the rule of thirds. Mentally draw a tic-tack-toe board over your image to divide it into nine equal parts.

How do the Cryoconite holes speed up the melting of the Greenland glaciers?
It is buried within the snow or ice, but as the snow or ice melts increasing amounts of dark material is exposed on the surface, accelerating melting.
What can we learn from ice cores?
Ice cores can tell scientists about temperature, precipitation, atmospheric composition, volcanic activity, and even wind patterns. The thickness of each layer allows scientists to determine how much snow fell in the area during a particular year.
Where is Dr Tad Pfeffer from chasing ice?
Pfeffer is a glaciologist at the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research and professor of civil, environmental, and architectural engineering at the University of Colorado at Boulder. His research areas include the mechanics and dynamics of glaciers and heat and mass transfer in snow.

What is Cryoconite and why is it a problem?
The problem lies in cryoconite, the soil-like composite of dust, industrial soot and photosynthetic bacteria that darkens the surface of ice and causes it to melt, scientists from Aberystwyth University in Wales said. As it melts, ice leaves behind small water-filled holes full of bacteria.
What is a Cryoconite hole?
Cryoconite holes are microbial oases within the extreme environment of a glacier’s surface ice. These holes form when sediment is blown onto the ice and is heated by solar energy, causing it to melt into the glacier’s surface.
