Supposedly water from icebergs is tasty and clean. Don’t know if that’s true.

In the days of the ice man delivering for people ice boxes at home, sections of ice including from icebergs were cut with saws. Ice was stored in ice houses with sawdust or straw for the warmer months.

Most of the iceberg is underwater. No way it reaches shore unless it a shear cliff.

True some places in England were importing it for drinks in bars was a big thing for a while.

Believe places in the middles still import it.
