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
