A Milestone

Since 2009, Wells Fargo customers have made over one billion paperless ATM transactions — saving an average of 475 printed ATM receipts per minute.

For 35 years, photographer James Balog has broken new conceptual and artistic ground on one of the most important issues of our era: human modification of our planet’s natural systems. An avid mountaineer with a graduate degree in geography and geomorphology, James is equally at home on a Himalayan peak or a whitewater river, the African savannah or polar ice caps. To reveal the impact of climate change, James founded the Extreme Ice Survey (EIS), the most wide-ranging, ground-based, photographic study of glaciers ever conducted. As a consequence of this historic work, James has become a global spokesman on the subject of climate change and human impact on the environment. In 2009, he served as a U.S./NASA representative at the United Nations Conference on Climate Change (COP15) in Copenhagen. He also delivered numerous presentations at the 2015 United Nations Conference on Climate Change in Paris (COP21). Balog and the EIS team were featured in the 2012 internationally acclaimed, award– winning documentary Chasing Ice and in the

2009 PBS/NOVA special Extreme Ice. Chasing Ice won an Emmy Award in 2014 and was short-listed for an Oscar. It has been screened at the White House, in the U.S. Congress, in the U.K. House of Commons, and at the United Nations. James has been honored with many awards. In recent years these include the Royal Photographic Society Hood Medal, the Heinz Award, the Duke University LEAF Award, the Sam Rose ’58 and Julie Walters Prize for Global Environmental Activism at Dickinson College, an Honorary Doctor of Science Degree from the University of Alberta, the International League of Conservation Photographers (ILCP) League Award, and the American Geophysical Union Presidential Citation for Science and Society. Balog has documented an extraordinarily wide range of subjects—from the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens to the 2004 tsunami in Asia; from experimental military aircraft to genetic cloning research; from the 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico to the 2015 California wildfires; from lions in the African savannah to grizzly bears in the Alaskan wilderness; and from corporate executives to elite fashion models. His work has been published in National Geographic, Life, The New York Times Magazine, Vanity Fair, Outside, Stern, Geo, and many others. His latest of eight books is ICE: Portraits of Vanishing Glaciers, published by Rizzoli International in 2012. Among his other titles are Tree: A New Vision of the American Forest (2004) and Survivors: A New Vision of Endangered Wildlife (1990), hailed as a major conceptual breakthrough in environmental photography.

Snow falls. It’s so simple, says the science: Chill a molecule of vapor long enough and cold enough, and a snow crystal will form. Yet how improbable it still seems to me—that solid substance could be born right out of invisible air. Part of me has never been able to buy the simple story. Snow seems like the stuff of magic more than anything else. Whatever snow is or isn’t, I have been infatuated with its fluttering dance for as long as I can remember. Snow up to my knees at age five. Snow etching maple twigs. Snow forts. Snowballs. Skis tracing arcs through whispering crystal. Ermine white coating spruce boughs. Perfection, all of it. Mothers, don’t let your children grow up to love only pixels; may they know the joy of falling crystals and the taste of snowflakes on their tongues. If more snow falls in winter than melts in summer, a snowfield forms. It is correct to the spirit of things that snowfields grow where granite thrusts to the clouds, night winds roar, and white bear cubs snuggle in peaceful dens. If

conditions are cool enough, the snowfield will get deeper. By the time it is thicker than 15 or 20 feet, the accumulating weight will have squeezed the air out from between the crystals. The snow will turn to ice. And if bedrock beneath the ice slopes downhill, the ice will start to flow. A glacier is born. Time passes. Flowing ice stresses and strains, cracks and collapses. Crevasses, seracs, moraines, icefalls, icebergs come into being. Pile up enough ice on a good-sized stretch of flat land—say, five square miles or more—and you make an icecap. Southeast Alaska, the Canadian Arctic, the Andes, and the Tibetan Plateau all have them. Pile up even more ice on a continent-sized landmass— Greenland and Antarctica—and you have an ice sheet. So I can say why ice flows: Gravity pulls it. And I can say how ice flows: Ice crystals slither past each other. I can tell you how ice, given enough time, becomes as malleable as taffy.Yet I don’t really grasp why ice needs to exist in this world, any more than I can say why snowflakes exist. Why should molecules be solid one

instant and liquid the next? Why should those invisible cities of atoms be white or gray in one incarnation? Why should some of them be sea green, others sapphire, or crystal clear? Why? The more I try to grasp the mystery of ice, the more an answer eludes me. Ice just is. In ice is the memory of our world. Of sunlight and darkness. Of air and water. Of molecules hot and cold. Of our spinning planet plunging through galactic space. On secret diamond faces, nature encodes the tales of time past and foretells the future. Ice remembers distant forest fires, faraway tailpipes, power plant

emissions, the radiation of nuclear explosions. Ice remembers all the heat and cold, all the snow and rain. Ice is both thermometer and barometer. Ice sees and hears and feels the pulse of a changing world. Ice reveals where we’ve been, where we are, where we’re going. History hasn’t ended, any more than nature has. Monumental changes in the ice are not a story for the dim past or vague future of an abstraction called geology. Monumental change is happening now. Monumental change is the human race—you, me us—living inside our history.

THE SOUNDTRACK OF LIFE IS ELECTRIC There is a soundtrack that accompanies your every day – whether it’s the rolling tumble of the dryer or the coffee pot dripping with your morning cup. But what we often consider background noise is actually an electric score that accompanies our lives. It’s a rich symphony of cadences and clicks, buzzes, bells, whistles and whirs, and it’s there all the time.

Why Glaciers Matter Ice waxes and wanes like the moon, ebbs and flows like the tide. Ice responds by the hour and day to the touch of the air and water around it; there’s no such thing as glacial pace. Warm the air or stop the snow, a glacier thins and retreats. Cool the air or bring blizzards, a glacier advances. Tickle a glacier’s belly with warm seawater, a glacier collapses.The balance of sunny days and stormy days, the temperature of air and ocean, are changing: in most places, most glaciers are changing too, thinning and retreating. Ice comes in many forms. The largest and thickest bodies of glacier ice are called continental glaciers, or ice sheets. Today, the only two ice sheets on Earth are found in Greenland and Antarctica. Iceland, Canada, and Tibet are home to many smaller ice caps. Tibet, in fact, has so many ice caps that glaciologists now call it The Third Pole. Mountain glaciers are found on many of the world’s high peaks, including the Rocky Mountains, Alaska, the Alps, Scandinavia, the Andes, Himalaya, the mountains of Central Asia, the Karakoram, and New Zealand. A glacier doesn’t simply melt slowly and steadily. If it is flowing into the ocean or a lake, the interaction between liquid water and solid ice can cause surprisingly rapid breakdown and retreat of the glacier. This phenomenon is

happening with surprising speed in Greenland, West Antarctica, and the Antarctic Peninsula. When glaciers melt, sea levels rise. The best available science estimates that melting ice, combined with the thermal expansion of ocean water, will cause sea levels to rise at least three feet by the end of this century. Needless to say, if the forces causing ice to melt continue after that time, the oceans will also continue to rise. If all of today’s land-based ice were to someday melt completely, sea level would rise 230 feet. Even modest amounts of sea level rise will result in dramatic and disastrous coastal flooding. This will affect hundreds of millions of people in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, the Philippines, Nigeria, Brazil, and China. The coastlines of the United States, particularly Chesapeake Bay, Miami, and the Gulf Coast, will be severely impacted. Migrations of people from flood-damaged areas will be widespread. The Arctic Ocean currently has a cap of sea ice floating on its surface. As it melts, it will not raise sea levels. But the loss of a permanent, white, reflective surface in the region is already causing more heat to be absorbed by the water of the Arctic Ocean. This phenomenon is, in turn, altering weather and climate patterns across the Northern Hemisphere.

One Of Our HOmeTOwn Values:

The Extreme Ice Survey (EIS) is a program of Earth Vision Institute (EVI). It is a collaborative project among photographers, filmmakers, and scientists. EIS combines art and science to document how polar and alpine landscapes are changing during the current epoch of a warming climate. In 2007, guided by the recommendations of glaciologists, the EIS team installed time-lapse cameras at sites that represent regional conditions and have high scientific value. EIS currently has 43 cameras at 24 locations. The project has thus far collected more than 1.2 million photosâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;many of landscape features that have since vanished. At the start of EIS, it took six months of experimentation to create a camera system sturdy and reliable enough to endure temperatures down to -40 degrees Fahrenheit, 150 mph winds, torrential rain, and driving snowstorms. The system uses Nikon D200 digital singlelens reflex cameras powered by a custom-made

combination of solar panels, batteries, and other electronics. The cameras are protected by waterproof and dustproof cases, mounted on heavy-duty tripods, and secured against the wind by a complex system of anchors and guy wires. Each unit weighs more than 100 pounds. Solar panels collect power that is stored in batteries; customized controllers tell the cameras when to fire when there is sufficient light. Downloads of digital images occur one to three times per year, depending on the remoteness of any given camera location. The imagery collected by EIS provides scientists with vitally important information about the mechanics of glacial melting. Equally important, the imagery gives the public comprehensive, engaging, and inspiring evidence of how climate change is having tangible impacts on the climate. With the right funding and institutional partners, EIS hopes to continue the documentation of our natural world, indefinitely. Photo: Jeff Orlowski/Extreme Ice Survey

Canada Mendenhall Rockies Glacier in Juneau, Alaska, has retreated significantly in recent decades. Sixty-five years ago it flowed all the way across Mendenhall Lake. But it has since retreated substantially from where EIS cameras were installed just eight years ago. Since the 1950s, 90-percent of South Georgia Island’s glaciers have retreated. Located 1250 miles east of the southernmost tip of Argentina, South Georgia served as a sealing base in the 1800s and a whaling hub until the mid-1900s. In 1914, Sir Ernest Shackleton’s expedition to Antarctica stopped at South Georgia, where photographer Frank Hurley documented the positions of several glaciers. Phil Stone, a geologist with the British Geological Survey, conducted a study of ice positions on the island in the 1970s. The Hurley and Stone photographs have provided an invaluable baseline for showing the remarkable recession of those glaciers in recent photos by the EIS team.

The Sólheimajökull Glacier flows southward from the Myrdalsjökull ice cap in southcentral Iceland. The glacier is retreating due to a combination of stream erosion and ice melt.

Glaciers appear on every continent except Australia. Presently, 10-percent of all land area on Earth is covered in glacial ice. Glaciers, which are huge masses of ice, build up when more snow falls in winter than melts in summer. As the snow piles up, it gets compressed and hardens into ice. This ice is able to flow, bending like taffy. During the summer, glaciers flow farther and faster than they do in winter.

On May 28, 2008, EIS field team members Adam LeWinter and Jeff Orlowski filmed an historic breakup at Ilulissat Glacier. The event lasted for 75 minutes. During this time, the three-mile wide terminus of the glacier retreated a mile; this rare footage has since been viewed online by more than 35 million people. According to the 2016 Guinness World Book of Records, this glacier calving event is the largest ever captured on film.

It felt empowering to open eyes to what photographers — and all artists — are capable of.
