The new figures suggest that an amount of oil equivalent to the Exxon Valdez disaster could still be flowing into the Gulf of Mexico every 8 to 10 days. Despite apparent efforts to restrict journalists from accessing affected areas, stories, video and photographs continue to emerge. Collected here are recent photographs of oil-affected wildlife, people and shorelines around the Gulf of Mexico on this, the 51st day after the initial explosion.

In the sunglint region - where the  mirror-like reflection of the Sun gets blurred into a wide, bright  silvery-gray strip - differences in the texture of the water surface may  be enhanced. In the thickest part of the slick, oil smooths the water,  making it a better "mirror." Areas where thick oil cover the water are  nearly white in this image. Additional oil may also be present.
