Penis-shaped rock

-

HELSINKI (AP) – Activists are collecting money to repair a penis-shaped rock formation in southern Norway after the popular tourist attraction was found badly damaged. Joggers discovered Saturday that the Trollpikke­n rock formation had cracked and noted drilling holes in the rock - something that experts say strongly suggests the rock was deliberate­ly vandalized. By Sunday, over 500 people had donated nearly 90,000 Norwegian kroner ($10,600) to fix the formation located south of the southern coastal city of Stavanger. Activist Kjetil Bentsen told public broadcaste­r NRK that he was convinced the Trollpikke­n “will be rebuilt” with donated money. Police are looking for tips to find the person or persons who did it. They could face a one-year prison sentence for a serious environmen­tal crime.
