Did you know that New Year's Day wasn't always celebrated on January 1st (and in many places, it still isn't). When do different cultures celebrate the first day of the new year? And what does January 1st have to do with Julius Caesar?

"Chasing Ice" Documentary April 29th
Dear Friends of WATERSPIRIT,
Come and see Chasing Ice, an award winning documentary of the story of National Geographic photographer James Balog's mission to change the tide of history by gathering undeniable evidence of climate change. Using time-lapse cameras, his videos compress years into seconds and capture ancient mountains of ice in motion as they disappear at a breathtaking rate. With a band of young adventurers in tow, Balog deploys revolutionary time-lapse cameras across the brutal Arctic to capture a multi-year record of the world’s changing glaciers. Chasing Ice depicts a photographer trying to deliver evidence and hope to our carbon-powered planet. Enjoy the beauty of the photography and see the reality of the effects of climate change. Ice cream will be served!
