A voluntary worker clears fuel oil spilled from the "Prestige" oil
tanker near the coastal town of Muxia on Spain's devastated North West
Atlantic coast on January 26, 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. REUTERS/Miguel Vidal
