No story in April inspired quite as much outrage from our readers as that of Chilean artist Marco Evaristti, who poured red dye into the geyser Strokkur with the effect of turning its eruptions pink. Police have charged with him breaking the Nature Conservation Act, issuing a fine of 100,000 ISK, which he says he will fight in court. While the artist contends the dye he used was perfectly harmless, and that he was trying to make a point about environmentalism, the anger from the general public has been allegedly so severe that he says he has received death threats.
