Copenhagen - Off the coast of western Greenland, in an area saturated by slow-moving ice floes and white icebergs, the blood red one stands out by design.
"We all have a need to decorate Mother Nature because it belongs to all us," Chilean-born Danish artist Marco Evaristti said on Thursday. "This is my iceberg; it belongs to me."
On Wednesday, he used 3 000 litres of paint diluted with sea water, three fire hoses, two icebreakers and a 20-man crew to spray the chunk of ice floating in the water.
The sea water was coloured with the same dye used to highlight meat, Evaristti told The Associated Press in a telephone interview from Ilullissat, Greenland.
