As far as I’m aware, the “garbage island” is really more like a really super fucking polluted region where there’s tons of garbage, not like a specific amalgam of trash that actually stays dry on top or anything
I know. As I pointed out to someone else the comment was more tounge in cheek than literal. It isn’t really an “island”. But since making the joke I’ve come to find out my joke actually undersells the volume. The area of accumulated waste is 5x the size of Poland even though it’s not actually forming a landmass 😞
