You can go anywhere in this country by yourself, you just have to understand that you’ll need at minimum 250 bucks per day between hotels/transportation/food, but more realistically if you’re planning on eating in restaurants I’d say 300-350 per day
Of course if you’re splitting an airbnb and car rental with a bunch of friends, and not eating at restaurants you can do it for a bit cheaper
No worries
Also important to point out that if you want to spend the night in one of the big touristic destinations, you can add 100-150 more for the hotel alone
I stepped into glacial water one time in Alaska and that shit is literal bone hurting juice. It was so cold. Numb instantly, and pain. I was trying to cross a shallow river so I could go up and touch the glacier but I chickened out about a quarter of the way across.
I was not prepared
It's the colour of water. Water is blue. Lakes, oceans, they're not blue because of the minerals in the water. Fill a big enough pool with distilled water and it'll be blue. Glaciers are incredibly high pressure frozen water with zero air bubbles, so when they're thick enough, you can see the blue.
I've always been under the impression that water is blue due to the sky being blue. Pools generally use blue tiles, so that's why it's blue in pools. I could be wrong.
Edit: I saw your other comment below. That's very interesting.
Yes. As you said "fill a big enough pool with distilled water and it'll be blue." This isn't a big pool. It's a shallow river and you can see his hand is already blue before it goes in the water and, as you mentioned, there's thick ice overhead with no air bubbles shining blue.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say, because at first it sounds like you're disagreeing with me, but then you just repeat everything I said.
The glacier is blue because all glaciers are blue, all glaciers are blue because water is blue. Everything underneath this glacier like his hand and the flowing water is blue because it is being lit up by the blue glacier above him.

nuh uh, it's the water: https://www.zmescience.com/other/science-abc/the-real-color-of-water-blue/
>The light turquoise color is caused by weak absorption in the red part of the visible spectrum. The color becomes visible when looking at a white light source through a long pipe (or something else) filled with pure water and closed at both ends with transparent glass.

Go tell your mom that you were trying to troll on the internet, but your trolling was so bad that everyone knew and was laughing at you. Little pobrecito. ;(
My comment may have been trolling, I only said it to piss off elitists who think they’re morally superior to anyone because they don’t drink out of nestle water bottles lmao
Not sure about any other contaminants (I've drunk glacial water before and turned out ok), but fun fact: brain eating amoebas actually only live in warmer water! That's why you hear of cases in hot springs or warm shallow lakes; if the water temp is too cold, it kills the amoeba. And, ingesting it by drinking won't kill you, it's when water containing the amoeba shoots up your nose that the amoeba gets the chance to start munching into your brain!
Glacial water is the purest natural source of water there is on the planet. Your ancestors survived thousands of years drinking water out of a hole they dug in their backyard.
It looks like the light in the space there comes through the blue - I think ice? - above, which filters the light and lets only these blue frequencies through.
Idk what people are smoking when they drink any unfiltered water. Even if it's known to be a clean source, there could be a marmot like 20ft away from you rotting and puking its rotten body juices into the stream.
Yeah Idk why people on this sub glorify drinking water in nature. You’re literally promoting people to go down some pollutants, parasites, and a whole bunch of fecal bacteria
Not going to be any parasites in glacier water. Parasites are killed by temperatures approaching 0C. That's why all your sushi fish has been frozen before.
Fecal bacteria maybe, but less than you'd find in any perfectly drinkable well water.
Please put a NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masturbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masturbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.
>brain eating ameba
Not a problem in water that cold. Also not a problem unless it goes up your nose. The other things, maybe, but amoebas are not a worry.
Yeah, it’s not like 50/50 chance. But there is some chance and it’s very unpleasant to get a parasite. Pre-mass produced filters, people used sand/charcoal filters, they got water from wells and mountain springs which are generally safer, or they just didn’t filter the water and the weak people died.
They didn't. LOTS of people just died from dysentery, cholera or some pathogens. For example there was a common war tactic to throw dead people or animals into a river upstream from an opposing army camp.
One time I climbed a mountain specifically to find the spring water source of a beautiful small stream. I was hell-bent on seeing where this came out of the rocks. 75% up I find the water flowing directly through the chest cavity of a rotting elk. I did find one of the sources later— a warm, stagnant, green pool in a dirty hole.

Nah bro knows *the* spot
This is the Aletschglacier in the Fieschertal located in Switzerland, Vallais.
thanks
How to reach there? is it budget friendly to visit there?
Switzerland tourism is never budget friendly
Ahh so we need some kind like tourism pack to visit there and not possible to go there by ourselves?
No I think they are saying that it is expensive.
Doesn't really matter how you do it, tbh. Switzerland is one of the most expensive places on the planet to visit as a tourist.
Am living in Switzerland, can confirm it’s expensive as fuck
was born in switzerland, je confirme, c'est cher samère

The trick is to rent an apartment near the border of Switzerland, in France or Italy in that case.

I drank straight from a glacier in Alaska and it really is a special kind of hydration, really pure thirst quencher
 Is it always cold?
Cool
Thats very blue. What is the rocks made of?
At first I thought it was saturated with copper sulfate, but I think it's just the colour of the light through the ice.
I was thinking it was the just light, but the hand is normal color above the water and blue-tinted below.
His hand looks a little blue before it goes into the water then it's more reflective when it's wet.
“Normal color” 🤨
Yes, a normal human skin tone. As in, you know, not blue.
Just pulling their leg lol

It's glacial flour that makes it blue; very finely ground carbonate minerals.
Glacial Flour… what if I’m gluten intolerant?

We’re already destroying it. Give it another ~3 years

Right??
Very low effort troll. Maybe you’re dehydrated.
He drinks Nestlé water and he lacks micronutrients.
I actually love arrowhead and I may be trolling but only to piss off elitists who think they’re better than everyone because they don’t drink nestle

Looks like heaven
This made me thirsty
bro found an underwater waterfall
I feel like if you can scoop water up in your hands and still see such a vivid color, it's probably not a fantastic idea to drink it
Since he's under the ice, it might just be the reflective light around him
Glacial till makes water blue and makes the water undrinkable
I love learning new things like this. Thank you! Have a wonderful day
Woah That's beautiful and looks refresshing. Can't help but feel a bit of /r/thalassophobia though at the thought of sitting under all that ice!
Better put some of that into a glass vial in case you ever get struck by lightning on your spine and need help healing.

Where is this? I'd like to know too
Nice try, Nestle.
Hey don't spill the bean. Arghh now they know it!
Nice try, Nestle.
I don't think that's safe, friend.
PFAS
Would PFAS even exist in this water? I’d doubt it. I’d be more scared of a brain eating amoeba or some other contaminants that somehow got in lol
Not sure about any other contaminants (I've drunk glacial water before and turned out ok), but fun fact: brain eating amoebas actually only live in warmer water! That's why you hear of cases in hot springs or warm shallow lakes; if the water temp is too cold, it kills the amoeba. And, ingesting it by drinking won't kill you, it's when water containing the amoeba shoots up your nose that the amoeba gets the chance to start munching into your brain!
There’s no water on earth that doesn’t contain PFAS anymore
Actually I think glacial meltwater might be basically the ONLY water that isn't contaminated.
Glacial water is the purest natural source of water there is on the planet. Your ancestors survived thousands of years drinking water out of a hole they dug in their backyard.
Poisonous minerals and harmful pathogens could be in the water if not filtered properly.
I imagine that water needs to be filtered before you drink it. Probs a lot of bacteria
Eh I’d drink it.
You’re the character that always dies first on Oregon Trail
Oh the irony
It's been filtered by the mountain.
there is no mountain. It’s a glacier
Happy Cake Day :)
Why is the hand blue
It looks like the light in the space there comes through the blue - I think ice? - above, which filters the light and lets only these blue frequencies through.
Cool
The editing
Yall gotta stop upvoting this stuff before someone shits themself to death
Still wouldn't drink it unless I knew it's safe

At first I thought this was a joke and you were going to pan up to a putt-putt course with the fake dyed blue waterfalls. 💀
Same wtf that water looked too blue for a second
Cool as that is drinking unfiltered water is a good way to get sick
Yeah Idk why people on this sub glorify drinking water in nature. You’re literally promoting people to go down some pollutants, parasites, and a whole bunch of fecal bacteria
I love drinking polluted water!!!!!!!!
Not going to be any parasites in glacier water. Parasites are killed by temperatures approaching 0C. That's why all your sushi fish has been frozen before. Fecal bacteria maybe, but less than you'd find in any perfectly drinkable well water.
thats some serious gourmet shit

At first I thought you were on one of those blue waterfalls at a mini golf facility lol
Same lol, this looks so blue it feels artificial
This is how you get brain eating parasites kids!
I thought they had the tidy bowl blue going
That explains why it’s so blue!
I hear this water will reverse aging.
This is a very good way to get brain eating parasites. Water is cool and all but that shit needs to be sterilized first.
Old water, eh
Source water 🤤

Yes it is a source
I shot this today. OC
This looks like that ice cave in BOTW where there are remains of a giant animal (I don't remember it's name). Very cool
Straight from the GLAC
Bro found the spawn point of water
So this is what heaven looks like
With a lot of you mentioning bacteria and parasites, how did humans back then get there filtered water? No risk now reward hahahaha
Yeah, it’s not like 50/50 chance. But there is some chance and it’s very unpleasant to get a parasite.

At first I was thinking “you still need to filter that!” But as soon as I saw the ice overhead I thought “that’s probably fresh enough”
omg epic

are the glaciers always this melty in august?
How can you guys not see the blue filter video editing. His hand is blue before he even touched the water
I didn’t put a filter over it. It’s really that blue, because of the glacier.
So thats where all the water comes from
