This is the port of Tripoli in Libya, which appears to have a leaky tanker or two… Yuk!

    They’re not tankers, they’re passenger vessels. And it’s not oil, it’s sun shining on waves.

    They may be passenger ships, you can see the lifeboats alongside the decks, but one is still leaking oil. If you zoom in a bit, you can see the rainbow effect of the oil on the water.
