Artist Mary-Clare Buckle, inspired by the story of Tokelau, has produced work to capture the romance and beauty of these coral atolls, which are so remote that it takes 42 hours to get there on the monthly boat from Samoa and are only visited by 20 tourists a year.
Yet the islanders are trying to do something about their lack of contact with the outside world.   They have set up the Tokelau Internet Project - in return for publicising the islands and the Project, website owners can register .tk domain names for free.
