Justin Bieber Shut Down Iceland Canyon…But Not For The Reason You May Think
March 25, 2019 8:07AM EDT
Justin Bieber is being blamed for Iceland Canyon closing after concerns that it has been negatively impacted by an influx in visitors.
Here’s the thing though…it’s not like he was there this weekend. He actually shot the video for his song, “I’ll Show You”, there back in 2015, and since then so many visitors have flocked to the spot ruining paths and vegetation!
An Environmental Agency of Iceland official said, “This canyon was somewhat unknown, but I think Icelanders have known about it a lot longer. The great increase in foot traffic began after Bieber came. There has been an increase of 50 percent to 80 percent between 2016, 2017 and 2018.” Originally they were just going to shut it down for two weeks, but now it will be closed to visitors until June to give it more chance to recover.
