Nowhereisland
Environmental Attraction
Visitors to Weymouth this summer should look out for an extraordinary sight. Nowhereisland, a new island nation originating from the Arctic, is voyaging around the south west’s spectacular coastline, as part of an epic voyage of over 500 nautical miles during the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. This new island nation is planned to be in Weymouth between the 25th July and 2nd August* and will be anchored in Bowleaze Cove.
Nowhereisland will be accompanied by a mobile Embassy packed full of activities, fascinating resources and informative artefacts that will tell the story of Nowhereisland’s origins and its inspiring journey. There’ll be something for all ages and interests and you’ll even be able to register as a Nowhereisland citizen. You’ll find it parked up Furzy Cliff offering wonderful views of the island.
The story of Nowhereisland began in 2004, when artist Alex Hartley searched for and discovered an island which had been revealed by the melting ice of a retreating glacier in the High Arctic. Alex was the first human to ever stand on the island and, with the help of the Norwegian Polar Institute, he registered it on all subsequent maps and charts. This island has become Nowhereisland, a new island nation migrating south in search of citizens.
