Summary

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill has left a persistent, otherworldly presence in the ocean depths. Glowing oil residue mimics the appearance of ancient, bioluminescent organisms, creating an eerie landscape within coral gardens, fish nurseries, and deep-sea environments. In 2014, robotic arms explored the seafloor searching for this “cold light,” discovering miniature coral samples that resembled tiny, shimmering lights reminiscent of celebrations and cityscapes.
