When I was in Iceland on a glacier the guide told me explicitly to not drink the water because it's filled with bad bacteria and actually dehydrates you

Which is a nice way of saying that it will give you the shits.

I was just in Iceland and did the classic snorkelling tour and the guide said we could drink the water if it gets in our snorkel.

Lol when I was in Iceland climbing a glacier the guide encouraged us to drink the water, and it was the purest-tasting water I’ve ever had. Didn’t get sick, but can’t tell you whether or not that was just lucky.

Maybe the guide had pooped in the water last week.
