Little can be said about this small volcanic island, for it's just a piece of barren land closest to Antarctica. In fact, this is the most remote island in the world; as such, it is used only as a base for exploration. Nothing grows on Bouvet Island, and there are no resources. The weather on the island is harsh, and thus, it is home only to a few species, such as seals, penguins, and seabirds. The territory is owned by Norway, which maintains a small research station here. Since 1971, Bouvet Island has had the status of a nature reserve.
