Abstract: We construct some example of a closed nondegenerate nonflexible polyhedron $P$ in Euclidean 3-space that is the limit of a sequence of nondegenerate flexible polyhedra each of which is combinatorially equivalent to $P$. This implies that the set of flexible nondegenerate polyhedra combinatorially equivalent to $P$ is not algebraic.
