The BP leased drilling platform exploded on April 20 causing a leak of millions of barrels of oil from a wellhead one mile deep 50 miles off the coast of Louisiana. Finally capped in August, the leak was treated with more than a million gallons of Corexit, a toxic dispersant. In this second leg of the voyage, the ship sailed in transects around the leaking well site while scientists investigated the effects on plankton and marine mammals.Related Collections:'Arctic 30' Portraits (All Photographers)MY Arctic Sunrise Gulf Oil Expedition (Photo & Videos)
