游泳的海獭,阿拉斯加,1998

中文注释：

一只海獭与一艘溢油抑制船共处于雾蒙蒙的威廉王子海湾。十年前瓦尔迪兹埃克森号油轮搁浅并向这片纯净的水域泄漏了一千一百万加仑(四千万升)原油。这次灾难后的紧急清理工作持续了四年。

现在，当年泄漏的痕迹已经很难再找到，但是有些海滩的下面仍然留有泄漏的石油，科学家说有些动物，例如海獭，斑海豹，丑鸭，鲱鱼仍没有从当年泄漏的影响完全恢复。

英文注释：

Sea Otter Swim, Alaska, 1998

A sea otter shares the waters of Alaska's foggy Prince William Sound with a spill-containment vessel nearly a decade after the Exxon Valdez ran aground and fouled these pristine waters with 11 million gallons (40 million liters) of crude oil. Intense clean-up efforts after the disaster lasted more than four years.

Now, evidence of the spill is hard to detect. But some beaches still have Valdez oil buried just below the surface. And scientists say some animal species, including sea otters, harbor seals, harlequin ducks, and herring, have yet to recover from the spill's negative effects.
