Oil sheen from a massive crude spill in the Gulf of Mexico has started washing ashore on an island off Louisiana, officials said Thursday, confirming a land impact for the first time.

"Teams have confirmed oil on Freemason Island," Coast Guard Petty Officer Connie Terrell told AFP. "It is at the south end of the Chandeleur Islands. It is largely sheen with no evidence of medium or heavy oil."

Still no word on the dome... :evilfrown:
