Is Glacier Meltwater Safe to Drink

mountainsforev...
If you think that drinking water from glacier lakes and streams, that look so clean, is safe, think twice. Glaciers collect lots of natural and artificial pollution from the air and from the surrounding area.
Such materials may be buried in the glaciers for hundreds or thousands of years before they are washed away when the glacier melts. So it is best to avoid drinking glacier water before filtering it, or it is even better to purify it.
Make sure you have a purifier with pores as small as 0.02 microns, and if possible also equipped with an activated carbon.
