Morgan Gass - Response to Chasing Ice

        After hearing we were going to watch a movie on the environment, I figured it was going to be dull and repetitive. However, I thought Chasing Ice was an eye opener and quite interesting to watch. It really intrigued me and gave me the information that was needed to be known. Balog was simply straight to the point and clear. He wasn’t jumping all around with his information or trying to shove it in my face. Seeing the pictures time after time, I really began to realize just how rapidly these glaciers are disappearing. Balog made me understand why he is so passionate about global warming. I was fascinated by his determination and willingness to make a global worldwide impact through ice. Through his pictures, Balog really captured the beauty of the glaciers. They were simply breath taking.  I thought that James Balog was very confident and adventurous during the whole journey. If he is willing to risk his life to save the environment, to me, that is inspiring. I believe that through this film Balog taught me to never stop going after something I really want. Anyone can turn their idea into a reality.
