„Bomba cu mercur” de pe fundul mării. Un submarin german din Al Doilea Război Mondial zace în largul Norvegiei

The German submarine U-864, sunk during World War II near Norway's Fedje island, is believed to contain a significant amount of mercury, posing an environmental threat. Discovered in 2003, the wreck is in a deteriorating state, with many of its 1,867 containers likely damaged. Recovery efforts could disturb sediments and release more pollutants, leading to a debate on whether to recover the cargo or seal the wreck. Recent studies show stable mercury levels in local seafood, but concerns remain about the long-term impact of the submarine's cargo.
