![]() There were no arrests, and there was no dam, and there were some very positive consequences, including protection of the immediate region and new Icelandic environmental regulations and awareness.

But the most famous and effective eco-sabotage in the island’s history was not singlehanded.

For an embodiment of the word singlehanded you might turn to the heroine of the recent movie Woman at War.
