Daniel BeltraIn late April 2010, the BP's Deepwater Horizon oil rig suffered an explosion that engulfed the platform. The resulting oil leak become the largest accidental marine oil spill in the history of the oil industry.
Shortly after the explosion, Greenpeace asked conservation photographer Daniel Beltra to head to Louisiana and the Gulf of Mexico. Beltra contracted a plane to see the real effects of the oil spill.
The work has been collected in the book "Spill," which you can purchase on his website. Beltra shared a number of photos from the first two months of the spill with us here.
