Summary[edit]

Description
English: In this image, the Mississippi Delta is at image centre, and the oil slick is a silvery swirl to the right. The oil slick may be particularly obvious because it is occurring in the sun-glint area, where the mirror-like reflection of the Sun off the water gives the Gulf of Mexico a washed-out look.
