An aerial view, provided by the Marseille fire brigade, shows a crude oil spill that spewed into a nature reserve on the edge of France's Camargue national park after an underground pipe burst on Friday August 7, 2009. Four thousand cubic metres (140,000 cu ft) of crude oil spread over 2 hectares (5 acres) of the Coussouls de Crau reserve near the town of Saint-Martin-de-Crau at the entrance to the Camargue, a vast expanse of plains and marshland famous for its wild horses and bulls, that boards the Mediterranean Sea.
