Gord, you're absolutely right. I was thinking the same thing while exploring Algalita's Website: if only there was some image that showed the full extent of the garbage vortex. I understand the problem with conventional satellite imagery is that most of the plastic lies just below the surface and is basically translucent when viewed from above. There must be some other way to capture this massive amount of trash on film, though: that would indeed be an image that would probably wake a lot of people up.

"Twice as large as the continental US" sounds impressive, but when it shows up on the world map it will take a lot of people by surprise. A picture is worth.... I've seen things about ground penetrating images (radar?) from space that were used to find things buried in the sands of the desert. So I think there must be some way to image this plastic continent.
