Meltwater at the top of the ice sheet starts out relatively clean, but as it flows through glacial channels down to the ground and out into the ocean, it picks up large amounts of sediment a byproduct of the glacier scraping the bedrock.

We went further and further away, but the whites came to our village, and we left our plantations, our caxiri (manioc drink), and everything, to flee."
