OWN A UNIQUE PIECE OF HISTORY
MyPolarIce gave you the opportunity to own a unique
piece of history. Original pieces of polar ice were sold
at the Museum Square in Amsterdam.
It was the chance of a lifetime to obtain a frozen relic
from the last ice age.
MyPolarIce is a venture led by Coralie Vogelaar and
Teun Castelein. They went to the northern part of
Greenland to harvest some of the finest polar ice
still available.
The pieces of ice were extracted from the Sermeq Kujalleg
glacier, and were put on transport in Ilulissat.
The glacier is the same glacier that once hit the Titanic
Each piece of ice is numbered and comes with a certificate
of authenticity attached. The pieces are packed in special
capsule-shaped containers. This packaging ensures that the
ice remains frozen up to three hours.
Thus, every Dutchman has enough time to buy a piece of ice
and make it to his freezer. The goal of MyPolarIce is to sell
the pieces to people throughout the country that cherish and
preserve it. To let the ice hibernate in the freezer compart-
ment of their refrigerator for better times to come.
There are still a couple of pieces available.
