The South Pacific island has been found by marine scientists to have the highest density of debris recorded anywhere in the world, holding 99.8% of plastic pollution.
The tiny island is in the path of the South Pacific Gyre - an ocean current. This is why it accumulates as much as 17 tonnes of plastic rubbish.
Henderson Island is a World Heritage Listed site but has yet to undergo a cleanup operation.
