A voluntary worker sprays fuel oil from the "Prestige" oil tanker off the pavement in the coastal town of Muxia on Spain's devastated North West Atlantic coast on January 25, 2003. The aging, single-hulled tanker foundered off the coast of Galicia in November 2002 with 77,000 tonnes of heavy fuel oil on board, causing Spain's worst ever ecological disaster, contaminating hundreds of miles of coast and putting thousands of fishermen out of work.
