Photographer James Balog and his crew were in Greenland when their camera captured something extraordinary.

For nearly an hour and 15 minutes , a piece of ice the size of lower Manhattan melted away.

It was the largest such event ever filmed.

Balog had a reputation since the early 1980s as a conservationist and environmental photographer.
