Henderson Island, located halfway between Chile and New Zealand, has an estimated 38 million pieces of trash washed up on the beaches. A study conducted by researchers from the University of Tasmania concluded the island gets more than 13,000 pieces of trash every day, which is about 10 kilometers long and 5 kilometers wide. Jennifer Lavers, a research scientist at Australia’s University of Tasmania, was lead author of the report, which was published Tuesday in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
