Chasing Time with James Balog | St. Louis News

A hauntingly beautiful documentary, “Chasing Time,” follows legendary nature photographer James Balog as he wraps up his decades-long mission to document Earth’s vanishing ice through the Extreme Ice Survey. With over a million images and time-lapse footage capturing accelerating glacial melt, Balog reveals how ice loss fuels wildfires and reshapes our atmosphere — all while reflecting on a life devoted to witnessing time’s relentless passage. Directed by the Emmy-winning team behind “Chasing Ice,” this Oscar-nominated short is a powerful meditation on climate change and mortality.
