In waters across the Pacific, an untold amount of black, toxic oil is contained within the corroding wrecks of World War II ships. And it’s leaking into the ocean.
Inside the murky hull of a Japanese transport ship, 25 metres below the water’s surface, a diver reaches out towards a black glob on the roof.
As he touches it, little dark bubbles of oil jump about in the water.
He rubs his fingers together. They are covered in sticky sludge.
