Andie Sophia Fontaine, The Reykjavik Grapevine, July 6, 2016

South Iceland District Court has acquitted the Chilean artist who poured non-toxic pink dye into the Strokkur geyser last year.

 

Marco Evaristti, who in April 2015 poured a considerable amount of dye into the geyser, making the water pink for its eruption, has been acquitted of breaking Iceland’s nature conservation laws, RÚV reports. The court ruled that Marco had not damaged the environment with his performance.
