The Post and Its Backlash
On August 29, Stewart posted the image with the caption: “End of the first zodiac cruise from @swanhelleniccruises into a very beautiful fjord on the east coast of Greenland. We actually captured a small iceberg for our cocktails tonight.” While Stewart likely intended to convey the beauty and exclusivity of her experience, the reference to using iceberg ice sparked backlash among her followers.
Critics argue that the use of melting ice from Greenland’s glaciers for a cocktail is insensitive given the current global climate crisis. Comments ranged from concerns about the environmental impact of such actions to criticisms of perceived elitism. One user commented, “Martha the ice caps are melting don’t put them in your drink,” highlighting the disconnect some feel between Stewart’s luxury experience and the broader climate emergency.
