MODEL RELEASED. Oil sand. Gloved hands holding oil sand from the Athabasca oil sands deposits in northern Alberta, Canada. Oil sands are a form of bitumen deposit. They are created when crude oil is digested by micro-organisms, leaving bitumen and a higher concentration of sulphur compounds and metals. Oil sands typically contain about 12 percent bitumen and are extracted by surface mining. The Athabasca oil sands are the worlds largest known hydrocarbon resource

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate world of oil sands in northern Alberta, Canada. In this image, a pair of gloved hands delicately cradle oil sand extracted from the renowned Athabasca deposits. The white background highlights the significance and purity of this natural resource. Oil sands are formed through a fascinating process involving micro-organisms digesting crude oil, resulting in bitumen along with higher concentrations of sulphur compounds and metals. These deposits typically contain around 12 percent bitumen and are extracted through surface mining techniques. The Athabasca oil sands stand as an awe-inspiring testament to nature's abundance, representing the largest known hydrocarbon resource on our planet. However, it is crucial to acknowledge that these vast reserves also come with environmental challenges. As we observe this photograph, we cannot ignore the implications associated with industrialization and human intervention in extracting fossil fuels. The hand holding the oil sand symbolizes our responsibility as individuals to carefully manage these resources while considering their impact on both local ecosystems and global pollution levels. Let us reflect upon this image as a reminder that energy production is not without consequences; it necessitates careful consideration of sustainable alternatives for future generations.
