You've probably heard of Garbage Island before. It's that Texas-sized patch of garbage floating in the Pacific Ocean just north of Hawaii. Some people believe it's actually just an urban myth, but it's very real. We've seen our share of photographs of this monstrocity, but now we get a bit more intimate with this unwanted trash-mass through a recent documentary from the folks at VBS.tv.

This documentary is a 12-part series that you can watch directly from their website. It shows this film crew's expedition to Garbage Island and the horrifying discoveries they made along the way, and once they arrive. This includes the affects of the plastic on animals, the water and everything else in the area. Be warned, some of the crew members seem to enjoy throwing the "F word" around all too casually, including on the intro video that starts up when you first get to the page, but other than that, it's a great documentary.
