‘Purest ice on Earth’ formed over 100,000 years in the Arctic has been shipped in from Greenland.

The world’s ‘purest ice’ has arrived in Dubai after an epic journey that saw the 22-tonne crystal-clear cargo sail 20,000km. Harvested from glaciers that formed over 100,000 years in Greenland, the ice was shipped via Denmark in nine weeks.

According to Arctic Ice — which shipped the ice to the UAE — there has been a “strong interest” from restaurants and hotels for the product. “Our ice can be used for all kinds of beverages, drinks and food products. Some of our clients use it for beauty and ice baths, because it’s the purest H20 on earth,” said Samir Ben Tabib, chairman, international relations at Arctic Ice.

“We have received pre-orders for the ice. We will do our due diligence and then proceed further. The ice will not be sold to everybody… Our exclusive product and the venue must match.”

The company has finalised the packaging, with deliveries set to commence in a month.
