NowhereIsland, an arts project for the Cultural Olympiad, is a floating island on display. The island was discovered by Alex Hartley on a trip to the Arctic. When ice melted in the Arctic, the island was discovered. The top layer of rock from the island was removed and was placed onto a barge, marking the birth of NowhereIsland.
In 2012, NowhereIsland is visiting the southwestern coast of England. It has visited Weymouth, Exmouth, Torquay, and Plymouth. It will visit Ilfracombe on September 1 and will arrive at its final UK destination on September 7. A van designed as the embassy is set up on the coast near the island each day so visitors can learn more about the project.
Visitors (of the official website) can sign up to become citizens of NowhereIsland through the website and read more about the island and its UK journey so far: http://nowhereisland.org
