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.

Scientists Are Amazed After Painting Cows In Zebra Stripes – They Get Bitten 50% Less Than Usual
