Dramatic Visuals: Our Changing Ice Flows




James Balog, photographer speaking at TED, shares images from the Extreme Ice Survey, a network of time-lapse cameras recording receding glaciers. Based on 25 time-lapse cameras designed, built and operated by Balog, these photos offer vivid evidence of climate change.

By the way, if you haven't discovered TED, it's a "small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with the annual TED Conference in Long Beach, California, and the TEDGlobal conference in Oxford UK, TED includes the award-winning TEDTalks video site, the Open Translation Program, the new TEDx community program, this year's TEDIndia Conference and the annual TED Prize.

If you want to hear from some of the most brilliant, creative minds of our times, I encourage you to find your way to TED and do a search among the hundreds and hundreds of speakers to find some on topics of interest to you. www.TED.com
