Oil again?! by Barbora Misakova

And here we go, the question rose up again: Where is the oil? After the weeks of various researches and explorations which brought different (but all unbelievable) results, it is time to ask smarter questions. And one of them should be: what can we do with that oil? I would bet I was not the only one who disbelieved that oil which was leaking into the Gulf of Mexico for more than a month could simply vanish. New research confirms it when claims that far beneath the surface of the Gulf of Mexico, deeper than divers can go the oil from the busted BP well was found. On the sea’s muddy and mysterious bottom – there is the oil which was mysteriously vanishing! Samant! ha Joye, researcher of University of Georgia said that oil at least two inches thick was found a mile beneath the surface together with a layer of dead shrimp and other small animals under it. Although Samantha Joye expected to find oil on the sea floor, she “did not expect to find this much.” Even more worrying is the fact that oil was found on the sea floor as far as 80 miles away from the site of the spill. “It is kind of like having a blizzard where the snow comes in and covers everything.” said Joye. Ian MacDonald, biological oceanographer said the oil did not disappear but sank, however not all scientists agree with him. And that is the biggest problem. Chemists, geochemists, oceanographers, biologists and many others cannot concur in their opinions where did the oil go, not even which would be the best way to remove it. And honestly, I think these questions will never be fully solved!
