James Balog: "20-Story Icebergs," Disko Bay, Greenland, 2007

This magnificent image is featured on the cover of James Balog's book "Ice: Portraits of Vanishing Glaciers." The 2012 publication captures some of the most extraordinary natural formations on Earth and is a dramatic demonstration of the stark consequences resulting from global warming-from Alaska to Iceland to the Alps. As glaciologists for the Extreme Ice Survey, Balog and his team conducted the most extensive glacier study ever, covering France, Switzerland, Iceland, Greenland, the United States (Alaska and Montana), Nepal, Bolivia and Antarctica.
