Petermann River, Greenland
From series “The Cleanest Lakes and Rivers of the Planet”
Not only lakes but also rivers adore with its clearness. Petermann River is a great example of it. The river flows throughout Greenland. People also know it as Blue River. The river rises at the so-named glacier, which melts and makes several brooks in the summertime. All they form a single river, which water has deep blue colour.
People can’t get to the most far-flung corners of the word with severe climate. The only chance to come there is to join the organized expedition group. Ecologies go the extra mile to minimize the inflow into the global ocean of glacial meltwater. In the nearest time, the glacier can lose about 100 km2 of ice. This will be enough to provide a megapolis with fresh water for 10 years. Next - Weddell Sea
