Camera to examine the melting Glaciers of Mt. Everest

Ultimate Ice examination , the Boulder-based firm established by world famous photographer James Balog, has currently placed 5 cameras in and around Mount Everest to graph the retreat of the glaciers there.

Two cameras will examine the total, area of Everest and the Khumbu Glacier; another 2 with telephoto lenses will get shots of the Khumbu ice fall; and another will graph the Nare Glacier.

Every camera will capture 1 picture every 30 minutes for the next three years, following thousands of motionless shots a time-lapse video of the subsiding glaciers. Balog and his EIS crew have traced glaciers in Alaska, Greenland, Iceland, Bolivia, the Rockies and the Alps.

The plan was finished with the North Face, well-known mountaineer Conrad Anker and his 5 people crew.
In an interview in January, Balog had told that he was expecting to place six or eight cameras on Everest by March relying constantly, on funds.

He added, “We are perhaps apart from Everest and British Columbia, we are perhaps closely finished with placing out ice-based time-lapse cameras. But what we are doing now is extending EIS to look at other subjects that aren’t just about ice, but they’re about the world varying in this age of human effect on the planet.
