To capture dramatic images demonstrative of climate change, environmental photographer James Balog headed to the Arctic. In \u201cChasing Ice,\u201d his team documents some of Earth\u2019s most exquisite icy landscapes rapidly melting away \u2013 a world-changing experience that will be available to area residents courtesy of the Stroud Water Research Center.<\/p>\n

From 4 to 7 p.m. on Sunday, the center will present the film, which uses time-lapse cameras that compress years into seconds, as well as guest speaker Jeff Orlowski, the film\u2019s director and producer, Stroud news release said.<\/p>\n

Orlowski worked as a videographer with Balog, a National Geographic photographer, on the initial expedition of the Extreme Ice Survey (EIS). That winter, the EIS team scouted and filmed glaciers that now appear in the documentary feature film \u201cChasing Ice.\u201d<\/p>\n

A New York native, Orlowski has been filming the EIS project around the world, working in some of the most extreme conditions imaginable on locations in Iceland, Greenland, Bolivia, the Alps, Alaska, and Glacier National Park, Montana. Previous work has taken him to the Tour de France and has led him to film a number of notable people including Robin Williams, Jane Goodall, and Nelson Mandela, the release said.<\/p>\n

The program will be held at the Copeland Lecture Hall, Winterthur Museum, 5105 Kennett Pike, Wilmington, De. Tickets are $15 for limited seated. To learn more, go to:\u00a0http:\/\/www.stroudcenter.org\/Events\/#ChasingIce<\/a>.<\/p>\n
