Norway fish kill

Wednesday, January 04, 2012



KVAENES, Norway — In this photo taken Saturday, December 31, 2011, Molly the dog walks amongst the dead herring on a beach at Kvaenes in northern Norway. Norwegians were puzzled on New Year's Eve, when tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of dead herring carpeted a coastal stretch. Speculations began whether predators had driven a huge school ashore. Or if a powerful storm with hurricane-strength winds that hit Norway on December 25 had washed the creatures ashore. (Photo:AP)
