Imagine this! You’re trekking along icy glaciers and are suddenly parched! What do you do? Simple! Stick a faucet on a prehistoric glacial wall and let icy cold water pour out of it straight into your travel mug. Putting this idea into practice is a travel influencer. Netizens couldn’t help but point out the irony that the “fresh water” wasn’t really fresh as it had been frozen for millions of years.
Travel Influencer Extracts Icy Water From A Glacial Wall In Canada
Travel content creator Madison Elrick took to her Instagram handle (@mddyelrck) to share her alpine adventure in Canada. In the Canadian provinces of Alberta in British Columbia, Elrick went for a glacial trek. Apart from charting her way across the icy glacier, frozen lakes using specialised equipment, what seemed to intrigue her the most was a handy hack to quench her thirst.
When she wished to drink water, all Elrick did was to stick a metal faucet into a glacial wall and rotate the tap. As she rotated the tap, ice first spewed out of the tap. Eventually, icy water made its way and gushed into her travel mug. Before you know, Madison Elrick was successfully able to pour herself a mug full of icy glacial water. Her travel companion called it “fresh water”.
