Martha Stewart has been accused of being 'tone deaf' after revealing she used a 'small iceberg' to keep her cocktail cold.
The lifestyle guru, 82, posted about her recent trip from Iceland to Greenland on the SH Vega expedition ship, run by Swan Hellenic cruise lines, which included sipping on drinks chilled by an iceberg it appears.
'End of the first zodiac cruise... into a very beautiful fjord on the east coast of Greenland. We actually captured a small iceberg for our cocktails tonight,' Stewart captioned the carousel of photos.
Among the images is a smiling Stewart clutching an iced cocktail and a picture of chunks of ice sitting on a cart.
Another photo shows a group of people charging their glasses of sparkling wine on the water along with snaps of some icebergs in their natural habitat.
But Stewart's post drew attention for all the wrong reasons, with her followers calling her out for being 'tone deaf' and 'irresponsible.'
'I generally love Martha and the excesses of her life because he's about beautiful gardens, homes, and food, but wealthy white people drinking their iceberg cocktails while the planet is in flames is a bit tone deaf,' one fan said.
'So as the climate warms due to the profits of a couple thousand people, billionaires vacation to the melting icebergs, scoop them up and use them to keep their cocktails cold,' another person wrote.
'That sounds like a line from a dystopian novel. Can't make this s*** up lol.
A third added: 'Martha I love ya. But weren't you just talking about climate change with your wash out on your driveway in NY?
'Melting icebergs for a cocktail surely won't help. I'm not even going to talk about the boat you're on and how that can't be good...'

If they look closely, they’ll see her cocktail is in a small seal skull.
Of course she’s elitist and tone deaf (metaphorically), but so what? It’s freeping *frozen water*.
As I recall there’s a guy who harvests this ice and sells it.
Just think of the trees that have suffered being turned into stupid moronic protest signs by dumbass eco-Twinkies.
Slow news day and they’re straining to create outrage at someone they don’t like over a nothingburger.
We did a glacier tour out of Whittier on about a 250 person catamaran in Alaska in late May. Yes, they fished a chunk of ice out of the water and did this. It was no big deal.
Hahahahahahahaha somehow an improbable Photoshop formed in my mind!
The biggest factor here is the culprit. If it had been Dr. Jill or Obama, everything would have been hunky dory.
It is always a big mistake to attempt to find rationality in the discourse of lunatics.
Well said.
On the Alaska whale watching cruise I took recently, the crew fished chunks of broken off ice from the nearby glaciers from the water for this very reason. The ice is going to melt anyway. Do the enviro-wackos think using natural ice is any different than using the ice from the freezer? It’s actually more climate-friendly because you aren’t using electricity to freeze it in the first place!
People are nuts.
When people say “you couldn’t make this stuff up” they’re really saying that the difference between reality and fiction is that fiction has to be plausible. If you invented this story it would be dismissed as too implausible. That’s where the world is today.
82 years old? She’s older than Biden?
We did that in Iceland. Cleaned up the ice and used it in our drinks. 10000 year old ice too! It was crystal clear and very cold.
She was railroaded. She might abnoxious to some but the BS charges were out of reason. So she is a triple to criticize: white, successful, and not a lefty.
Is there any other kind?
You ate right. She should come back with claims that she is preventing the seas from rising. It makes as much sense as anything else the GW crowd spews.
You are watching too many science fiction movies. Icebergs are made from snow. Snow doesn’t usually contain bacteria.
I blame it on the Jews: Iceberg, Goldberg, Greenberg, what’s the difference?
I would only use this ice in a drink with a large concentration of alcohol. Too many ancient bacteria and viruses. This is how the zombie apocalypse will begin.
Google says icebergs contain ancient viruses and bacteria. I don’t know if that’s in the upper layers, or just in the depths.
Narcissist.
