The Extreme Ice Survey (EIS) is a scientific project that uses time-lapse photography to document the rapid melting of glaciers around the world. Founded by photographer and environmentalist James Balog, the project aims to visually capture the effects of climate change on ice formations in various locations, including Greenland and Alaska. By setting up cameras in remote areas, the EIS provides valuable data on glacier movement and melting patterns. The images collected help researchers and the public understand the impact of global warming on our planet's ice reserves, contributing to broader discussions about climate change and environmental conservation.
