Evidence of Global Warming Now
Photographs by James Balog
Photographer James Balog and the Denver Museum of Nature & Science have partnered to develop and present a new exhibition of breathtaking videos and 24 of Balog’s spectacular photographs, featuring glaciers that reflect the rugged—and vanishing—beauty of some of the most extreme and remote environments on Earth.
Balog has been breaking new ground in the art of nature photography for 25 years. His latest and most ambitious project, the Extreme Ice Survey, combines art and activism on a remarkable scale. Since 2006, Balog has been systematically photographing 27 glaciers in 16 locations around the world—the most wide-ranging glacier study ever conducted using ground-based and time-lapse photography.
Open April 18 – November 2, 2008
Location: Leprino Family Atrium, LEVELS 1 AND 2
James Balog’s photographs and the work of the Extreme Ice Survey (EIS) team document the beauty of our planet’s icy realms, and add to a growing body of evidence of changes taking place before our eyes. Learn more at www.extremeicesurvey.org
