Artist Alex Hartley travelled to the High Arctic region of Svalbard in Norway (with the art/science climate change organisation, Cape Farewell) where he discovered an island recently revealed by a retreating glacier. He and his expedition team took the island into international waters, declaring it the world's newest nation, with citizenship open to anyone. As part of the '52 Resident Thinkers' section of the project, Tania Kovats created a series of postcards from the Norway expedition.
