A few years back, I had my first experience of being on a glacier and noticed the guides were filling their bottles with the runoff water. The water almost had a blue tinge to it. So I drank some and must say I have never had water that good! This water was coming down deep gulleys, the guide said it could have been 100 yr or 1000 yr old water. I figure the rain falling back then was far cleaner than it is now. It was so pure and " wet " ... it just hard to explain. I said to the guide, someone ought to bottle this stuff and sell it. He just chucked. Terri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found this out by asking them as I was a bit hesitant to drink. All were in good health and I'm still alive as are other family members. > << The water almost had a blue tinge to it.>> > Rob: <<Copper usually.

The deeper the crevice the darker it was. Once the water was in your cup it was clear. This water had no mineral taste and was incredibly good. I didn't witness any psycho problems in the guides. : ) Rob, are glaciers known to have high copper? Terri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
