The difference must be that these guys are cutting freshly made virgin ice rather than ancient ice.

Wouldn’t recommend chewing or using in low-to-zero alcohol drinks.
Math is racist.
LOL
The earth is only 6000 years old.
Hahahahaha. So many laughs in this story.
How many complaining buy Evian water from France?
Gluten free, dolphin safe, carbon neutral, organic, fair trade, ice.
I want a chunk that has a frozen P-38 in it.
Strange that you mention a P-38. Depending on the degree of your interest and your finances, you may be interested in this: Rumor has it that there are some on or near Shemya. When WWII ended there apparently were some left over on Shemya. The typical approach to left over military equipment was to bury it or dump it in the ocean. I saw on the internet that this could have happened here to the P-38s. I happened to spend a few weeks on Shemya in the mid 70s and roamed the island. There us a longer runway up a little higher now, but there seems to be traces of the old runway down on the flats which are westerly of the new runway. I did not go down there to explore that area. If that is where they are, they were buried with a bulldozer and are probably scrunched ups. If they were taken out to sea, they probably in better shape.
During the Clinton regime we had some work related to the part of Regan’s Star Wars. At one time A trip to Shemya seemed to be possible. At that time I had the GEM-1, a type of mapping metal detector. If I could have inveigled that trip, I would taken the GEM-1 along somehow and searched the area for any buried P-38s. Didn’t happen.
The people drinking the ice eventually pee most it in the ocean....it evaporates and is carried around...some of it gets refrozen into ice at higher altitudes....just think of all the carbon sequestration which will occur when Greenland starts growing plants. And all tundra areas start growing trees.
I guess the A-rabs do buy that ice!
Groooan.
There you go, more environmental progress.
Muddled government in the way of that opportunity. Greenland is owned by Denmark, at least until Trump buys it for us from them. Legal issues are straightforward. Antarctic Treaty isn’t friendly to capitalists, and may not allow this where it applies. Maybe you could harvest bergs that floated enough north to escape treaty bounds….
Seriously, the volume of some ice cubes? Moronic even by panic porn standards.
