A GERMAN tourist has spent a day and a half chipping spraypaint off a world famous glacier after...

Maybe this story doesn't rate on the news scale but I guess I read it and just *sighed. This is a story that makes you go 'urgh!'

What is wrong with people?

Good I am glad that they made him clean up his stupidity. Glaciers are precious things. Rivers of ice that flow for centuries before melting. The damage he could have done would have been nearly permanent. While being on a small scale the pollution he caused to the ice sheet and the rock face should not be tolerated.

While on the list of crimes and punishment I think he got just what he deserved. Ridicule and abuse while serving out his punishment. A simple case of the punishment does fit the crime.

I agree.

Obviously this chap didn't know about glaciers?

well one would hope that that maybe the reason for the grafitti?
