ELF strike in Iceland

In the first week of the new year ELF (Earth Lib­er­a­tion Front) struck in Ice­land for the first time. The tar­get was the Alcan Alu­mini­um smelter in Haf­nar­fjor­dur which is being expand­ed into pris­tine lavafields with­out local demo­c­ra­t­ic con­sent which was promised in the town coun­cil elec­tions.

This fac­to­ry is part of ongo­ing heavy indus­tri­al­i­sa­tion of the Ice­landic wilder­ness pow­ered by large dams and geot­her­mal pow­er sta­tions all around the coun­try.

Three peices of machin­ery (2 dig­gers and a crane truck) were heav­i­ly sab­o­taged and the ELF sig­na­ture was left on a work­shed wall.

Help fight the heavy indus­tri­al­i­sa­tion of the wild!
