Review:
"In 2007, Balog launched the Extreme Ice Survey (EIS), a long-term photography survey designed to make the invisible visible and give a "visual voice" to the planet's changing ecosystems. This EIS imagery is providing a baseline for revealing the geological impact of climate change and other human activity. It's art as well as science: the project's single-frame photographs capture the stunning beauty, architecture and enormity of ice formations. As a result, you can witness these amazing sights in Balog's new book, ICE: Portraits of Vanishing Glaciers. The 288-page coffee table book with a cause features 200 color photographs revealing the astonishing geological formations found in arctic and alpine landscapes at the far reaches of the world. Wise observations from environmental writer Terry Tempest Williams open the book, which is beautifully formatted by top-tier art-book publisher, Rizzoli." "Urban Times Online Magazine

The first showcases strikingly beautiful photographs of glaciers in Greenland, Iceland, Alaska, Canada, the Himalayas, the U.S. and Canadian Rockies, and other locations around the world. The second consists of time-lapse photos that record the changes the glaciers experienced over a six-year period." "CNN.com

""Balog's breathtaking pictures show how erosian and melting temperatures taker their toll on the glaciers, shrinking and carving them.
