An environmental disaster is unfolding in Solomon Islands, on the island of Rennell, with tonnes of oil spilling into an internationally-significant marine reserve.

Each day for the past three weeks, locals have looked out to a giant ship, the MV Solomon Trader, as it sits wedged on a reef, a gash on its side leaking as much as 60 tonnes of oil into a marine sanctuary.
The spill is still not contained, and experts have scrambled from as far away as Australia and the United States to try and stem the flow in what authorities now say could be the Solomon Islands' worst environmental disaster.
