The Fjadrárgljúfur cliff in Iceland has been closed to visitors because it simply cannot receive more visitors. And it's all Justin Bieber's fault.
The Canadian recorded in the pristine spot the music video of "I'll Show You" and inspired so many people to visit that the landscape was destroying and suffering ecological damage. The solution has been to close the access to all the visitors.
A ranger told The Associated Press that many visitors are so desperate for access that they "try to bribe us with food from their home country."
But the country's minister of the Environment, Gudmundur Ingi Gudbrandsson, does not blame Bieber for the large number of visitors. "It's very simple to hold Justin Bieber accountable for the whole situation. The impulsive behavior of a famous person can dramatically impact the entire area if the masses follow. In the defense of Justin Bieber, at the time of his visit, the cliff did not have fences in rope and designated trails that indicate what could be done and what not. " That is, that the visit of Bieber led to certain changes.
Not only has Justin Bieber attracted more people to the place, but people disobey and surpass the protection fences. The Canadian Press
You have to be fair, Bieber did not invite his millions of followers to go to the cliff, but many took the opportunity to create guides of the places included in the video. And people eager to show off on Instagram went to the place. The artist could perhaps have made a call to his fans not to adulterate the beautiful nature of the place. Maybe even make a donation to help protect this place that looked like a well kept secret.
What do you think of the role of JB in this matter? You think he's responsible?
