Jan Philip Scharbert, a German tourist visiting New Zealand's Franz Josef Glacier left his mark on the glacier and a neighboring rock face. He was caught on film by English tourists and arrested later the same day.
Scharbert escaped a charge of "wilful damage" after his one-and-a-half-day clean-up job was considered adequate by New Zealand's Department of Conservation.
1.5 days to clean up: I wonder how long he spent on the work. (The work's execution was evident of inexperience or having been done very quickly. It's also worth noting that bare rock is a poor canvas for any paint job.)
Reportedly, Scharbert was chided by visitors to the glacier as he cleaned up after himself.
