Summary[edit]
DescriptionA disastrous oil spill has affected Peruvian coasts after the Tonga volcanic Eruption.jpg |
English: This image, acquired on 2 February 2022 by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites, shows an oil slick appearing off the coast of the Ancón Reserved Zone and the Pescadores Islets in Peru. The oil spill was caused after more than 10,000 barrels of crude spilled into the Pacific Ocean from a tanker onloading at a refinery as a consequence of the tsunami caused by the volcanic eruption in Tonga. According to the scientists of the National Service of Natural Areas Protected of Peru (SERNANP), it is the worst environmental disaster to damage the Peruvian coast and to affect the biodiversity of its environment. |
