Volunteer Hong Sung-ku (R) cleans thick oil from oyster shells in the port of Gaemok, his favourite fishing spot, after an oil spilled from the oil tanker Hebei Spirit in Taean, about 150 km (93 miles) southwest of Seoul December 13, 2007. Strong winds on Thursday threatened to spread the devastation from South Korea's worst oil spill and cold weather hit already slow clean-up efforts by thousands of exhausted workers.
