Description

On November 14, 1963, a volcano fifteen miles off the shore of Iceland exploded under the sea, resulting in a brand-new island. Scientists right away recognized Surtsey for what it was once: a possibility to observe the way in which life takes hold.  

Loree Griffin Burns follows entomologist Erling Ólafsson on a five-day commute to Surtsey, where since 1970 he has studied the arrival and survival of insects and other species. Readers see how demanding conditions on Surtsey will also be, what it’s like to eat and work even as making the smallest have an effect on imaginable, and the passion driving these remarkable scientists in one of the vital world’s most unique fields ever!
