The Black Cone, Monument to Disobedience

Gotta love this climbable monument in Reykjavík. I don’t know if you’re supposed to climb it but I didn’t think I could tell these kids not to get on it once they read the plaque.

Two kids climb a rock with a black cone splitting it. A plaque reads “THE BLACK CONE, MONUMENT TO CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE "When the government violates the rights of the people, insurrection is for the people and for each portion of the people the most sacred of rights and the most Indispensable of duties." Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen (1793)” in English and Icelandic.

But wait, there's more
