Drinking from a stream
MODEL RELEASED. Drinking from a stream. Man using a cup to drink water from a glacial stream. There are many diseases that can be transmitted through contaminated water, but fast-running glacial water will be safer than still (standing) water. Glacial water (which has melted from glacial ice) contains glacial flour (small particles of rock ground up by the weight of the glacier) that should be left to settle to the bottom of a container before the water is drunk. Filters and chemical treatments can be used to remove or kill protozoa, bacteria and viruses, if it is thought that the water is contaminated. This is Cesna Creek in Elaho Valley, British Columbia, Canada

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a moment of pure connection between man and nature. The image showcases a model released individual quenching his thirst by drinking water from a glacial stream. As the fast-running glacial water cascades over his cupped hands, he indulges in its refreshing taste. This serene scene serves as a reminder of the importance of clean water for our well-being. While many diseases can be transmitted through contaminated water, the swift flow of glacial streams offers relative safety compared to stagnant sources. However, it is crucial to note that glacial water contains tiny particles known as glacial flour which should settle at the bottom before consumption. The breathtaking Cesna Creek in Elaho Valley, British Columbia sets the stage for this picturesque moment. Surrounded by Canada's stunning countryside and freezing temperatures, this brave adventurer embraces both the beauty and challenges of nature during his vacation. As he takes a sip from this pristine source, one cannot help but admire his resilience and survival skills amidst such an awe-inspiring environment. This single figure represents not only an individual seeking leisure but also embodies health-consciousness and respect for our planet's resources. Captured by Science Photo Library, this photograph encapsulates the essence of human-nature harmony while shedding light on important geographical aspects like contamination risks in rivers. It reminds us all to cherish clean water sources and take necessary precautions when exploring unfamiliar territories.
