We brought back calved off chunks of an Alaskan glacier, said to have been millions of years old, in our checked luggage, to give to a friend for drinks use at his 40th birthday party. Luggage went astray, then caught up with us 3 days later. Because of the density of the ice, it hadn’t even started melting.

Excellent! I hope this is correct!
