Vandalism: Paint The Glacier

Mr Doyle sent me a link yesterday that I found rather…well…stupid.  A German tourist, Jan Philip Scharbert, was photographed spray painting a glacier in New Zealand.  He was nabbed by police as he was trying to get on a bus to get away. 

It took Scharbert 1.5 days to clean up the damage under supervision…and tourists glaring at him.  What an idiot.

I know that on the ice part of the glacier, axes were used to chisel away the paint.  What product was used to clean the paint off the rocks that isn’t harmful to the ecosystem?
