Isklar (pronounced "iss-klar") means "ice clear" in Norwegian. It is a special brand of natural mineral water. This water comes from the amazing Folgefonna Glacier in Norway. You can find Isklar water as both still (not bubbly) and sparkling (bubbly).
Isklar was first sold in the United Kingdom in early 2008. However, it is no longer available there. Big companies helped start Isklar. These included the Siva Group from India, SABCO, and Jova Holdings.
