[1] It is a small island in the Barents Sea, 500 miles off the coast of Norway.
It emerged from the now melted portion of a retreating glacier and is around the size of a football field.
As part of the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad,[2] Hartley toured a scaled version of Nyskjæret round the South West coast of England as nowhereisland.
The island was discovered during a Cape Farewell expedition of scientists and artists, collaborating on a cultural response to global warming and the retreating Arctic ice pack.
A large wall exhibit made from framed rock samples, letters, maps, photographs, and other documentation materials forms part of Cape Farewell - Art and Climate Change,[3] and appeared in the National Conservation Centre in Liverpool as part of the 2006 biennial [1].
