The Legendary Ölfus Spring
ABUNDANT RAINFALL & SNOWMELT
Plentiful precipitation falls onto untouched lava fields in southwest Iceland, above the Ölfus Spring
FILTERED THROUGH ANCIENT LAVA ROCK
The rainfall and snowmelt makes its way through layers of lava rock to create naturally alkaline water with the perfect mineral balance, and is collected in the Ölfus Spring, deep below the Earth's surface
BOTTLED AT THE SOURCE
Icelandic Glacial is bottled at our state of the art facility located at the Ölfus Spring. Water flows directly from the underground spring into the plant, where we bottle 0.1% of the runoff into the ocean.
Legendary Ölfus Spring
Located in the southwest of Iceland, the Ölfus Spring was formed after a massive volcanic eruption over 5,000 years ago. The spring is constantly replenished by gradual filtration of the abundant rainfall and snowmelt of Iceland. Located on 128,000 acre exclusion zone, The Ölfus Spring is shielded by an impenetrable layer of lava rock and surrounded by a 128,000 acre exclusion zone of untouched lava fields. With over 900,000 cubic meters of water overflowing from the Ölfus Spring into the ocean every day, Icelandic Glacial bottles 0.1% of the runoff to the ocean, directly at the source.
Sourced From Iceland
As one of the youngest islands on the planet, Iceland has a raw, natural beauty and a pristine ecosystem. Centuries of volcanic activity and an abundance of beautiful glaciers have left a stunning landscape unlike anywhere else in the world, and have earned the country the nickname, “Land of Fire and Ice.” Icelanders have made it a priority to preserve the unspoiled beauty of their environment which allows them to gift us with some of the cleanest, most pure water in the world.
State of the Art Facility
Icelandic Glacial takes immense pride in running a completely sustainable operation fueled entirely by geothermal and hydroelectric power. At 7,688 sq. ft., the world class facility is one of the world's greenest and cleanest. Fully automated and hands-free, the facility is capable of producing up to 30,000 bottles per hour. The filling process takes place in a clean room environment held to the highest laboratory standards. The water for Icelandic Glacial travels directly from the underground spring into the bottling facility, which maintains a positive air pressure to impede the outside air. The first time Icelandic Glacial encounters the open air is when the bottle seal is broken. Nothing is ever added or taken away.
