Living Geography: Chasing Ice...

Living Geography: Chasing Ice...: Chasing Ice is a film I've been following the progress of for several months now. There was an early trailer which I blogged about, and the story of the film is interesting. A series of cameras were placed in remote locations overlooking areas of ice, and the time-lapse footage they captured shows the rapid rate at which some of the world's ice masses are disappearing. It all started in Iceland...

The filmmakers traveled all over the world and left the cameras secured in some of the world's harshest environments. The cameras were left in place for 3 years, with a picture taken every hour during the hours of daylight. It also seems that it has been shortlisted for an Oscar.
I'm going to try to get tickets for the showing at the Cambridge Arts Cinema. I used to go to the cinema often when I was younger, as I was a real film buff through my twenties and thirties... I mostly get to see cartoons these days...

You can download some useful STILLS for use in the classroom too....
