Fishermen confront oil-slicked waters in Eleanor Bay, Alaska, days after tanker Exxon Valdez disgorged nearly 11 million gallons (41,640 kiloliters) of oil into Prince William Sound. The 1989 event is the worst oil spill in U.S. history and hurt generations of wildlife including salmon, sea otters, seals, and sea birds. Photograph by Natalie Fobes
