Beauty created by years of human pollution. How ironic!
During Soviet times, Ussuri Bay near Vladivostok was used as a dumping ground for discarded beer, wine, and vodka bottles, as well as porcelain. Over time, the North Pacific's powerful waves washed the shattered glass and porcelain into millions of smooth, colorful "pebbles." Today, this once-barren and polluted area has become a beloved tourist attraction, known as Glass Beach. Visitors from around the world pay to experience its extraordinary beauty.

We also have a "glass beach" on Kauai, with similarly colorful glass smoothed by the sand and ocean waves. Everyone comments on its beauty, even though it's not in a pretty area, but it is simply a few miles down the coastline from our rubbish dump and the glass just washes up on this particular beach due to the way the currents flow.
