Prestige, a Bahamanian-registered single-hull tanker, broke in two and
sank some 270 kilometers (165 miles) off Spain on November 19, touching
off the worst pollution ever on Spanish beaches and shutting down

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a poignant moment on the Spanish northern coast, where workers cast long shadows against a pristine beach. The image tells the story of their tireless efforts to clean up an environmental disaster that unfolded months earlier. In November 2002, the Prestige, a single-hull tanker registered in the Bahamas, tragically broke apart and sank off Spain's shores. This catastrophe unleashed an unprecedented wave of pollution that devastated Spanish beaches and paralyzed Europe's largest fishing industry. In this snapshot taken by Victor Fraile in February 2003, we witness the aftermath of this ecological tragedy. As sunlight bathes the coastline, casting long shadows across the sand, it serves as a stark reminder of both human resilience and nature's vulnerability. These dedicated workers have tirelessly labored to restore this once-pristine beach to its former glory. The contrast between light and shadow symbolizes hope amidst despair—a testament to humanity's unwavering commitment to healing our planet. It is through such collective efforts that we can begin to mend what has been broken and protect our fragile ecosystems for future generations. Victor Fraile masterfully captures not only a visually striking scene but also conveys a deeper message about environmental responsibility and unity in times of crisis. This photograph stands as a timeless reminder that even in darkness, there is always room for light—and with determination and collaboration—we can overcome any challenge thrown our way.
