“I think that the French should know about this, and I think that hopefully they will also get reprimanded when they get back to France.

    Is it too easy to just target these villains, I ask.

    “I think so. It happens almost every year,” she says, taking a breath. “You know that car advertisements are recorded here. Those cars get a licence to drive a little bit off road, but they don’t have a licence to actually show it. Sometimes, they do anyways, to use it as a marketing opportunity.”

    Another good reason to ban car commercials.

    “In the high north, it is so different from, I don’t know, Massachusetts. It takes decades for moss to heal. The sand, when you think it’s just a desert. It’s a tundra. It’s very slow to heal. This is forever, this damage,” Páll explains. He still can’t truly wrap his head around the damage.

    Nooooo. :-(

    That makes me think of the aftermath of a forest fire, how long it takes for the plants to regrow back. It’s infuriating how big of an impact one idiot can make.

    Ça arrive chaque année selon l’article. Quel est la différence entre maintenant et tout les autres fois ? La façon que c’était faite ?

    En tout cas, nique les voitures.

      De ce que je comprends les dégâts sont particulièrement extrêmes cette fois, mais l’article dit que c’est un problème régulier, oui. Le fait que le touriste ait publié ses exploits en ligne et qu’il ait continué après avoir reçu une première amende doit contribuer aussi.

      Le titre me faisait craindre un article un peu clickbait, mais finalement c’était intéressant, il va bien au-delà du fait divers et explique le contexte.

    Ca serait cool que la justice Islandaise (qui a déjà de beaux faits d’armes a son actif suite à 2008) fasse un bon exemple pour une dégradation volontaire et répétée.

    The only fair punishment is to do to his body what he did to the land, probably not with Land Rovers, that might be a tad excessive! but something that leaves a decent trail, following the same route he did, as a sort of permanent scar. Live streamed to his followers of course…

      Rather than resorting to useless and barbaric punishment, just let the guy use a shovel to repair the damage done, delete his social media accounts as accessories to his behavior, and force him to spend time in therapy.

        It clearly doesn’t seem fixable with a shovel, unfortunately. (And even if it had been, I’m not sure I would trust these people to repair it properly, ha ha.) I agree that physical punishment is clearly not acceptable, even though I feel very angry right now.

        Whatever the total punishment is (the article talks about a first fine, so I guess there was more?), I hope that they aren’t able to ignore it now that they’ve come back from their rampaging vacation, and that they’ll have to answer for what they did.

        He was actually proudly broadcasting the damage on social media before he received his first fine, 300.000 ISK for destroying the landscape.

        For those who were wondering like me, 300.000 ISK seems to be worth about 700 €. That actually doesn’t seem like a lot considering the amount of damage? But if it’s the first fine, it probably didn’t take the whole thing into account.

        (I’m guessing that 700 € is not that much this man, considering the car he took with him.)

        I’m curious what the total fine will be, and whether the man also risks other punishment according to Icelandic law.

    This is very distressing. Beating people should be legalized in cases like this.
