67-year-old American James Balog is known for his work on environmental issues. His photographs help to attract public attention to the extinction of various species on the planet, the melting of glaciers, and other climatic changes. The footage below illustrates what the global warming threat really looks like. The photo and video materials capture the moment when a huge iceberg broke off a massive ice shelf, the size of which exceeds the area of the city.
Many years of work
The Arctic is a harsh place in which any work involves a lot of difficulties. The photographer's team had to face a sweltering cold and strong wind. It took them several years to capture this event. The team's goal was to prove to the public that global warming is not fiction, but a harsh reality. James expected to shoot material for a documentary, but he did not even expect to witness such global consequences of the destructive impact on the glaciers. James does not regret the time spent, because he believes that he can attract the attention of a wide audience to this problem.

The survey showed that the formed piece of ice with its area is probably superior to Manhattan. Determining the exact dimensions is difficult, and dangerous. James and his assistant spent more than an hour, with a shudder of expectation, whether the ice would break off somewhere else.
