DEC. 12

In “Chasing Ice,” we follow National Geographic’s James Balog across the Arctic as he deploys revolutionary time-lapse cameras designed for one purpose: to capture a multi-year record of the world’s changing glaciers. Balog’s hauntingly beautiful videos compress years into seconds and capture ancient mountains of ice in motion as they disappear at a breathtaking rate. Visit Enzian.org for show times all weekend, starting Friday.
