Introduction to Elucian Islands

Welcome to Second Nature. These islands are now part of the Elucian Islands archipelago, Nature Publishing Group and Macmillan Publishers's expanded home in the virtual world of Second Life. The islands are home to exhibitions, ongoing projects, regular events on a wide range of topics and state-of-the-art buildings dedicated to the communication of new ideas.

The islands have recently been redeveloped and expanded to include a large central island dedicated to all areas of learning, and this website is in the process of being updated: please check back soon for more news.

In the meantime, if you'd like to learn more, please contact us at elucianislands@nature.com
