Bay of Campeche, Gulf of Mexico: Workers on barge (right foreground) spray chemical dispersant on excess oil around burning well of the Ixtoc I well here recently. The well continues to gush into the Bay of Campeche, making it the world's largest oil spill. Technicians of Petroleos Mexicanos, the national oil monopoly, last weekend began steadily pumping steel and lead balls--2.5 to 2.7 inches in diameter---into the blown out Ixtoc I well to help lessen the spillage. Through 8/11, Ixtoc I had spewed about 1.81 million barrels of oil into the bay, company officials said. (Getty Images)
