 NOVA-National Geographic special investigating the latest evidence of a 
 radically warming planet. It follows the progress of acclaimed 
 photojournalist James Balog‘s Extreme Ice Survey, the largest 
 photographic study ever attempted of the cryosphere, the mantle of ice that 
 covers large portions of the Earth and that plays a critical role in 
 weather.  The effort involves displaying 26 time-lapse cameras in risky, 
 remote locations including Iceland, Alaska, and the Alps — programming 
 them to shoot a frame every daylight hour for three years. This remarkable 
 time-lapse footage reveals massive glaciers and ice sheets splitting apart, 
 collapsing, and disappearing at a rate that has scientists alarmed. 
 Grappling with blizzards, fickle technology, and climbs up craggy 
 precipices, James and a team of scientists anchored their cameras capable 
 of withstanding sub-zero temperatures and winds up to 170 mph. This 
 perilous expedition created a unique photo archive of melting glaciers that 
 could provide a key to understanding their runaway behavior and their 
 potential to drive rising sea levels.  The sea level is projected to rise 3 
 feet in this century, putting many coastal cities under 
 water.\n\nWheelchair accessible around the corner at  411  28th  
 Street\n\n$5 donations are accepted\n
