Surtsey is a truly unique piece of land in Iceland that was formed in 1963

Surtsey is a piece of land that formed in 1963, after a huge volcanic eruption that has lasted for 3 years. Now, the land is used for scientific research and observations. The focus of the work is to better understand how an ecosystem forms from scratch, without any human impact. There are only a couple of scientists that are allowed on the island’s premises, making it one of a few forbidden places on earth.

This Kitchen Island Is Also A Giant Aquarium

Robert Kolenik, a Dutch designer who focuses on high-end sustainable design, has created a stunning kitchen counter-top that has a beautiful large aquarium for a base. In reality, the ‘Ocean Keuken’ is actually shaped like a large ‘L’ – the storage compartment inside the counter is hidden with mirrors to make the aquarium seem larger than it is. What’s more, the countertop raises with the push of a button, allowing the aquarium to be accessed with ease.
