Gulf Overflight and Radar Image (August 30) Now in Google Earth
Our friends at SarSea created an interactive Google Earth file (get it here) that shows the flight path of Bonny Schumaker’s August 30 overflight and the photos and video she took of the oil slicks she observed during that flight. Here’s an overview that also shows the location of the Macondo well – the source of last year’s BP / Deepwater Horizon oil spill – and the 23051 Site where we’ve been watching a chronic leak from a cluster of wells that were damaged by Hurricane Ivan waaaay back in 2004, overlain on an Envisat ASAR radar satellite image that was taken at about 11pm that night:
