Artist sprays iceberg blood red

BBC, March 25, 2004

A controversial Danish artist has sprayed an iceberg off the coast of western Greenland in blood red.

 

"We all have a need to decorate Mother Nature because it belongs to us," Chilean-born Marco Evaristti told the Associated Press news agency.

 

 

"This is my iceberg; it belongs to me," Mr Evaristti added.

He used 3,000 litres of paint diluted with sea water, three fire hoses, two icebreakers and a 20-man crew to complete the task in about two hours.
