I remember rafting just downstream of the Matanuska Glacier in Alaska. There were so many minerals in the water that it was liquid at 28°F. Glacier fed rivers are gray compared to the clear streams that join them. A glacier is one of the least pure natural sources of water.

Understand. Nice picture as well. I have never been to the great state of Alaska.
