Oil Spill

 

From the site: "Tiny hermit crabs climb an oyster shell to escape crude oil that washed ashore on Casse-tete Island on the Louisiana gulf coast near the site of the Deepwater Horizon accident in the Gulf of Mexico July 4, 2010. The BP leased oil Deepwater Horizon platform exploded on April 20 and sank after burning." Photo by © Chuck Cook/Greenpeace.
