The South American artist who controversially dyed Iceland’s iconic Strokkur hot spring pink last April is back in the country to appear in court.
“To my mind, I have done nothing wrong,” says Marco Antonio Evaristti, whose artistic endeavours with Icelandic nature landed him in hot water last year.

Evaristti was originally charged with causing damage to the environment, but after it emerged that the substance used to dye the water was harmless food colouring, the charges were changed to ‘disruption to geological formations and ecosystems’.
The court case begins today and Evaristti is on a flying visit to Iceland to answer questions in court.
