Surtsey Island’s 60 Year Experiment

This island has had less visitors than the surface of the moon. It’s one of the most restricted places in the world and is a living laboratory

Surtsey Island didn’t exist until 1963, when underwater volcanic eruptions built it from nothing. Iceland immediately declared it off limits except for a handful of scientists who began conducting a 60 year long experiment

Here are the results of that experiment ➡️
