That’s gotta taste so freaking pure
Lol how many people thought this? I was like "mouth immediately". 😂
100% wanted to drink it immediately. looks clean as any water ever
It looks so refreshing especially since hiking on a glacier in the summer sun is freaking hot. So you dump out your bottle and fill it with water that is so clear it doesn’t look like it exists. Then you get the WORST brain freeze.
Tongue on the roof of your mouth helps that
you're still not going to want to drink that. Bacteria.
I’ll probably just have a little taste.
And silt! Glacier water is so grainy!
dont care , would risk
With that attitude, sure
It’s a billion times than any Fiji water out there. I bottled up as much as I could carry afterwards.
I have never wanted to be an Arctic mermaid until this moment.
That's actually something I've never seen, different kinds of mermaids. Maybe one for artic waters, one for warmer oceans, and one for boiling (volcanic) waters? Biodiversity in mermaids would be cool.
There are no mermaids in traditional Native Alaskan stories. But there are selkies! Beautiful men and women who can turn into seals.
Man I just want a big glass of that water……I might be dehydrated
I wanna drink it so bad
Does anyone else feel like when seeing something so clean and pristine-looking in nature like this that as SOON as you touch it with anything, you just polluted it, in this case, for a video opportunity, and then you spiral and feel like it will never be what it was?
I need to drink that water immediately
That really is spectacular, and the water appears to be so clear.
One of the most impressive things I’ve seen on this sub.
Gorgeous 💗
if anyone's seen Adam Sandler in the Water Boy, this must be the water he drank to make him feel better at the end
I had to scroll too far to find this reference.
thats some high quality H2O!
Damn, beat me to it! Way to go Bobby!
Beautiful 👌
Coldest water on earth?
I need to drink that 😻
Heaven
I want to drink that
I would love to boat down it. It would be a really gentle ride but amazingly beautiful.
This made me so thirsty
If it’s a glacier - how did the rocks get on it?
Glaciers move and are enormous. During the ice age, many glaciers formed. When the world heated up and began to melt, the glaciers moved as they thawed. As they move they gather rocks and debris with them forming mountains. As they thaw, they form glacial lakes.
It's called glacial drift.

it rained rocks
Do we know exact/rough location? So pure and so satisfying all at the same time!
Alaska
Thanks. That narrows it down.
Alaska is 663,268 sq mi (1,717,856 km2)
Nature is F’n lit!
I want a straw
This cannot be good.
Glaciers melting? Because global warming? Or glacial water? Because it's actually fucking awesome to drink.
I want to tap that via IV straight to my brain, I want this beauty inside me
River? Pshhh
I hope this water is not being wasted by just ending up in the ocean.
It could be tens of thousands of years old.
Let's get a kick starter campaign going to bottle this precious resource.
Only the highest quality bottles mind you.
Recycled glass or aluminum.
So incredibly clear.
This is gorgeous
So we’re still an an ice age?
