Melting glaciers? Surf's up...
I’ve got to hand it to these guys. Only a surfer would consider turning a melting glacier into a playground. But after all, isn’t that what the planet should be?
For instance, an Inuit microbrewery on one of the planet’s iciest spots has turned melting glaciers into pure refreshment: beer. Not just any beer but a brew made from 2,000 year old water free of minerals and pollutants (see Greenland ice cap beer launched).
Sort of the if you’re skating on thin ice you might as well dance attitude. And honestly, I’d like to try that beer. But on the science side, glaciers are fascinating as are the studies of how they are changing.
