Wake Up, Freak Out – then Get a Grip from Leo Murray on Vimeo.

This video, recorded in November of 2007, on a lake near Fairbanks, shows Katey Walter from University of Alaska at Fairbanks and a research team drilling a hole through lake ice, then lighting the escaping methane. This video was shot by Carla Browning of University Relations at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

both videos via the always awesome AIDG blog.

One thought on “Wake Up, Freak Out, Then Get A Grip”

  1. I think this is a stunning animation, with beautifully clear, and accurate, commentary. It’s very light on solutions – which in many ways is a good thing – but those it hints at don’t suggest that business or government have a part to play. A welcome change from a lot of the corporate crap churned out by NGOs.

    Only criticism: implying that “civilization” going is a bad thing. Maybe he meant “society”.

    Well done, Leo.
