Greenland startup begins shipping glacier ice to cocktail bars in the UAE
theguardian.com
Arctic Ice harvests ice from the fjords of Greenland, and then ships them to the United Arab Emirates to sell to exclusive bars. Using glacial ice in drinks is a common practice in Greenland, and, over the years, several entrepreneurs have unsuccessfully attempted to export it.
Its co-founder Malik V Rasmussen said the ice, which has been compressed over millennia, is completely without bubbles and melts more slowly than regular ice. It is also purer than the frozen mineral water usually used in Dubai’s ice cubes.

When the world starts burning, these guys will be selling marshmallows on the side. Fuck everything about this, from the bottom of my heart.
You gotta make a living. Why not make a living off of those stupid idiots who value your magic ice over regular ice. It's like selling overpriced paper cards with pretty pictures to kids who love Pokemon. Except kids are kids and these arabs are supposed to be fully capable adults. It's a low risk, high reward game. I can't blame them.
Maybe because it makes global warming much worse, shipping refridgerated ice through the air to the desert?
I guess you didn't read the article then?
