Nature #3: The masterpieces of nature were sabotaged by tourist - Part 1

Nature has lost thousands and millions of years to create spectacular landscapes. Humans only need a few minutes, even seconds to sabotage them. 

Duckbill Rock, Oregon, USA: Creation took thousands of years to create this impressive duckbill rock. This is one of the tourist attractions in the North Pacific. The Oregon State Park Board has set up barriers so no one can accidentally damage the ancient stone. However, they do not account for intentional vandalism. Photo: Kbnd. 

By the end of August 2016, a group of teenagers climbed over the barricade. Three of them pushed down the rock while the other three cheered. Unfortunately the authorities did not find out the identity of this group of people. Photo by Christiannewstoday. 

 Tenere Tree, Sahara Desert, Nigeria: This is the only tree in a 200 km radius of the Sahara desert, used by nomads to guide it. The existence of Tenere amidst harsh environments is a miracle. Photo: Treehugger. 

 In 1973, an unnamed Libyan drove a truck to Nigeria along an ancient trade route passing near Tenere. He drank and broke the famous trunk. It is incomprehensible why one can plunge into a single trunk in the vast desert. Today, at the tree's location, a metal sculpture is erected to commemorate Tenere. Photo: Webool. 

 Goblins, Utah, USA: The surrealistic landscape of the Goblins rocks attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. The huge rocks are wind and rain worn out for millions of years, forming a unique shape that does not exist. Photo: Cool Green Science. 

 In 2013, Glenn Taylor led a group of Scouts to visit the area. He thinks rocks can be dangerous if someone pushes them down as they pass by. Taylor decides to slay his millennial creations with just a few pushes. Photo: IFLScience. 

 Cliffs of Moher, Ireland: Seen from the cliffs of Moher nearly 120 meters above sea level, you will see 300 million years of history stretching out front. This is not only a great tourist destination but also an important geological and archaeological site. Photo: Travel & Leisure. 

 However, the world's scientific community was alarmed to discover graffiti on the cliffs. This is the "work" of two French tourists nicknamed "Mama" and "Dirty Eidor". Experts deleted the graffiti without damaging the cliff. Photo: The Clare People.
