Moroccan refugees
Fig. 3:
Moroccan refugees on their failed crossing of the Strait of Gibraltar. The engine of their small, completely overloaded rubber boat probably gave out when they tried to cross over at night. They were probably discovered by a Moroccan freighter named "Atlas Casablanca", which turned around in the middle of the journey. We were unsuccessful on the
Firmm
boat on this overcast morning in search of whales and dolphins. The picture was taken on May 5, 2005 at 10:18 am and is an enlarged detail — Nikon D70, AF-S Nikkor 80-200mm 1:2.8 D, 1/1000s at 1:4.5 at ISO 400, Tarifa, Spain — EXIF: Nikon D70; Δt=1/1000 s; f=200 mm; f/4.5; 2005-05-05 10:17:39
