ICELANDIC GLACIAL
--ICELANDIC GLACIAL | quiet
The premium water Icelandic Glacial Water from Iceland embodies absolute purity. The still glacier water has a desirable and unusually high pH value of 8.4, which makes it naturally alkaline.
Long before man reached the remote island of Iceland, a massive volcanic eruption occurred, creating the Ölfus spring deep beneath the earth's surface. For more than 5,000 years, water has been slowly filtering through the lava rock layers, creating naturally alkaline water with a perfect mineral balance. Shielded by an impenetrable layer of lava rock and surrounded by a 128,000-hectare exclusion zone, the spring is constantly replenished by gradual filtration of rain and snowmelt over uninhabited and pristine lava fields. With over 900,000 cubic meters of water flowing into the sea from the Ölfus spring every day, it is one of Mother Earth's greatest natural springs in one of the world's most pristine ecosystems.
Sustainable
Icelandic Glacial was the world's first bottled water to be certified carbon neutral for both product and operations. Icelandic is very proud to be a fully sustainable operation, powered solely by geothermal and hydroelectric power.
With an area of 7,688 sq. ft., the world-class bottling plant is one of the greenest and cleanest in the world. Fully automated, up to 30,000 bottles per hour can be produced. The bottling process takes place in a clean room environment according to the highest laboratory standards. The water flows directly from the underground source into the bottling plant. Nothing is added or taken away.
The water
Not all water is created equal: especially not when it has been shaped and formed by the rugged landscape of Iceland. Between glaciers and volcanoes, the artesian mineral water rises from the volcanic spring, a qualitative highlight of the drinking culture.
The still spring water from the "fire and ice" land impresses with its alkaline taste and Nordic, refreshing character. Whether during sport, served at lifestyle events, or just as a snack - Icelandic Glacial Water takes the connoisseur on a journey to the land of elves and trolls.
design
The distinctively shaped, glacier-inspired bottle neck with four profiles underlines the water's heritage and premium position. It won "Best Overall Concept and Best Label" at the Bottled Water World Design Awards. The high-quality rPET bottles are BPA-free and bottles, labels, caps and cardboard are 100% recyclable.
Overall, the company operates countless sustainability programs and also supports them beyond the company.
We only sell the 75cl glass bottles. In the product images you can also see the award-winning PET bottles. We do not stock these.
Location
As one of the world's youngest islands, Iceland has a rugged natural beauty and pristine ecosystem. Centuries of volcanic activity and an abundance of beautiful glaciers have left behind a stunning landscape unmatched anywhere else in the world, earning the country the nickname "the land of fire and ice."
Ecologically, Iceland is unique. Iceland is a large country (103,000 km²) but sparsely populated, with only 3 people per km² living mainly on the coast. The interior offers stunning contrasts. It is mostly an arctic desert, punctuated by mountains, glaciers, volcanoes and waterfalls. Most vegetation and agricultural land is in the lowlands near the coast. Icelanders have made it a priority to preserve the pristine beauty of their environment, which allows them to gift us with some of the cleanest and purest waters in the world.
