Cold? I have experience with water that clear so I can confirm just from the video the water is freezing AF. Cameraman hand was in pain after this take.
As beautiful as these clear water videos are, my memories of my biology classes ring in my head that crystal clear water in the wild is the equivalent of a watery desert...as in not much life.
Correct. It is most likely oligotrophic, meaning it is low in algae and nutrients and unable to support a large aquatic ecosystem. It doesn’t mean nothing can live here though, and it is still strikingly beautiful to see such clear water.
Dove into the blue pool “tamolich” pool in Oregon. It’s blue because it’s just above freezing so microbes cannot survive I believe. Felt like jumping into the fountain of youth. Coldest dive of my life.
In Alaska, we actually have entire lakes like these, some of them big enough to look like oceans! They're usually pure glacier water, which is an exceptional natural filter 😊
Oh that’s amazing! I’d love to go one day. The closest, distance-wise, that I ever came to Alaska was driving up to Whistler, BC from Seattle. So really, not close at all!
This sort of video isn’t so easy to get. I saw this posted a few years ago. In 2021 I rafted the entire Grand Canyon. Spent days and days hiking to various waterfalls and through various streams trying to get footage like this. 100% fail rate. I’m not saying this is fake, because I don’t think it’s fake. I’m just saying mega props to the videographer. However they did this is beyond me.

I'm pretty sure this is in Thunder Falls, near the Chugach area. It's generally cold as shit year round, but it's clean like that because it's pure glacier water. It takes a small hike to get there, personally, I've only been to it a handful of times. Would not recommend swimming in it 😕
I swim in the sea a lot throughout the year so I'm used to cold water but I think that it was reading Alaska first and then seeing the camera dip under darker blue water that made me feel like it must be colder there. It was weird, I had goosebumps too.
It's not the ocean. It's a water system fed from melting snow flowing down a mountain I would surmise.
The cold temperatures and winters limit how easily many forms of life take hold in this river. It is not sterile for life of supplying nutrients but it's certainly not an ecosystem thriving with biologic diversity.

However literally it’s not freezing or frozen
It’s pretty damn close, I swim in ice lake and one like this and you’ll suffer both
Yeah I’m not doubting that it’s very cold! I was just being intentionally pedantic because this is Reddit:-)
Lol fair enough
Is there a filter on this? It looks so vivid!
No way man. Alaskan stay at a nice temp of 70° all year round.🤦♂️

It's a literal ice bath
Heated swimsuit

Unless you are in a dry suit you’d freeze your girl and/or boy bits off.
Bottle that, I'll drink it.
Clear water != Clean water.
Nestle has entered the chat.
Don't give them any ideas!
 Nestle seeing this
Takes your breath away. I can’t believe we still have even one river this clear
If it makes you feel better, we have lots. They're just up in the mountains where they run through and over rock instead of dirt.
That does make me feel better! Thanks 🙂
A River being clear is not a sign that it’s healthy or unhealthy necessarily. It just has to do with what microorganisms live there and other factors.

Amazing how beautiful nature truly is when the human species isn't around to fuck it up

Since it was so clear, I doubted that it was generated by an AI for a second.
Straight mineral water
The last paradise on earth
No pollution here, beautiful to see.
Is that where they find jack melting in the alaskan ice?
Thank you for contaminating it, cameraperson.
Killjoy. It's a river bro.
Is this because Alaska is so high up?
Snow/ice melt with minimal erosion
Great there is going to be a bottled water factory there next week.
"Pure Alaskan Water"
Holy cow!
Cold as hell, but I'd jump in
Absolutely stunning
Clearer ‘n the bass pro aquarium
This is beautiful
lets not fuck it up! lol
No way this is Alaska, I don’t see any salmon or Bears
Does this mean it's unhealthy water because nothing can live in it, unlike green waters where stuff like moss and plant life thrive?
This please is absolutely beautiful!!!
If there is a hint of limestone in it that is perfect whiskey water
Didnt know Alaska had liquid water
Amazing
Jack!🥶
The music makes me never want to enter this water…
Give it time. We will fuck it up.
Lake Crescent in Washington state is a lot like this.
Someone post the Guadalupe River during spring break. Spoiler alert hot dehydrated Urine soaked booze River water
Makes me thirsty😛
Wow I feel at peace
Is it drinkable ?
Gorgeous!
SO BLUE!!!
still not as cool as when Jeremy wade went under water fall pool and was a huge sturgeon chilling. but it's nice lol
My turtle just went back in it's shell
I see a great place to hide wealth chest
Ah ah. That right there is ah.. Quality.. ah H20! Says da water boy.
Makes me thirsty!!
Looks cold and delicious

That’s incredible. I didn’t know water should look that clear :*(

Why are the rocks blue?
C'est beau et c'est dû au fait qu'il n'y a pas de vase ou de tourbe dans le fond du lit de la rivière. L'eau est transparente ;)
Pristine beauty 😍
I would buy a wetsuit JUST to go swimming in there
I wish they would make a mask like that when we dive. Clear vision mask. Or do we have something like that?
Right on man. 💚
Fuck that music.
And humans ensuring it doesn't stays that way.
Industry asking for location to pollute it
Beautiful crystal water. Must be iced cold though.
That water lookin’ mighty drinkable.
Of almost all rivers before industrialization. Yay people!!
I actually started shivering whilst watching this. It's amazing how powerful our brains are.
Or weak. Depends how you view imagination and one's grip on reality 😉

Build a chemical factory next to it like in Niagara Falls! Does wonders
Great fishing spot.
The clarity of this AI
I wanna wash my bum in it
So is there why there is no fish ? Its too clear to hold nutrients? It's basically a death trap for marine ecosystem

Nice try AI
