I was given the opportunity, early in 2014, to travel to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch to investigate the possibility that groups of American migrants had begun to settle there. What follows is a sordid look into one of the most ravaged and polluted locales on the Earth, a place as inhospitable as the Atacama desert and as merciless as the jaws of Everest.
Note From the Author: Because of certain national and international legal issues I cannot reveal the names of the people who brought me to the Garbage Patch, their method of transport, or for that matter any information that might identify them in a court of law.
