Chasing Ice

 You will watch a great documentary called "Chasing Ice" which tells the story of a courageous photographer as he tries to document the effect global warming is having on the glaciers of the Arctic.  The film captures the beauty and power of the diminishing glaciers of Iceland and Alaska.

note: you can stream the film on Amazon or iTunes but I also found a website that appears to offer free streaming of the film: https://www.ofarrellschool.org/apps/video/watch.jsp?v=141835

The attached file contains questions you should answer as you watch the film.  Turn it in here. You may turn it in at any point in the semester until.
