Defacing the landscape

When I travel to Iceland I try to pick up a copy of the latest Reykjavik Grapevine.

This is the cover story for the latest issue.


The actions of a gentleman named Luc Haudeville, who travelled by ferry to Iceland with two extremely well-equipped Land Rover Defenders, and, like a 1980s Mountain Dew commercial cosplayer, proceeded to drive the Land Rovers over protected areas throughout the countryside, scarring the land and destroying vegetation. He was actually proudly broadcasting the damage on social media before he received his first fine, 300.000 ISK for destroying the landscape.

His response to that fine? Immediately resuming destroying the landscape.
