TL;DR Summary

Arctic Ice, a startup founded in 2022 by two Greenlanders, is shipping ancient Arctic ice from Greenland to Dubai for sale to high-end bars and restaurants. The company claims to be offering a novel way to harness a natural resource and raise awareness of the Arctic, but it has attracted controversy due to the environmental impact of shipping a diminishing natural resource halfway across the world. Critics argue that it's wasteful to ship ice thousands of miles on fossil fuel-powered ships when Dubai already makes its own ice. The company faces backlash on social media and has received criticism for its operations, but it also has supporters who appreciate the aesthetic and story of the ice.
