"Martha the ice caps are melting don't put them in your drink," one Instagram user wrote under a photo of Stewart's Greenland cruise.
Martha Stewart's new, iceberg-flaunting Instagram post generated some titanic pushback from fans.
After the 82-year-old shared a few vacation photos showing her using pieces of an iceberg from Greenland to cool down a cocktail, the businesswoman and TV personality received pointed criticism amid an ongoing global climate crisis.
"End of the first zodiac cruise from @swanhelleniccruises into a very beautiful fjord on the east coast of Greenland," Stewart wrote Monday on the social media site, sharing a photo of herself enjoying a drink laced with bits from an iceberg.

..Me, I'm going to go think about a leaping and bounding Martha Stewart:
We last dropped in on Martha (January 2018) when she offered as a sweepstakes prize a weekend with her to visit the Svalbard seed vault.
...In other Svalbard news, I'm not clear on all the details but apparently Martha Stewart is doing some fundraising for Crop Trust with a sweepstakes prize for donating:
I'm teaming up with @Prizeo to raise support for @croptrust! Enter to win a trip to Norway and we'll tour Svalbard Global Seed Vault with the scientists behind it! We'll also enjoy a polar tour, and a northern lights viewing reception! Donate to enter at https://t.co/0VaTWl6Vxm pic.twitter.com/kWQVlT3FJh— Martha Stewart (@MarthaStewart) December 21, 2017
