Hi Jo,

The dry ice method, where they float a breath-filled balloon in a larger 
balloon full of carbon dioxide gas (the white cloud that billows off of dry 
ice when you add warm water), wouldn't work to inflate a mapping balloon. 
That experiment creates a mini-atmosphere of CO2 in the larger balloon 
which, because it's heavier than the gas we expel when we breathe, make the 
little balloon float.  That's not a condition you could recreate on a 
landscape scale.

Cheers,
Jessi
