In 1963, a volcanic eruption beneath the sea off the coast of Iceland gave birth to Surtsey, one of the newest islands on the planet. Since then, it has remained off-limits to the public, protected by UNESCO and Icelandic law, making it a pristine natural experiment in how ecosystems develop from scratch.

No human interference — no planting, no introducing species. Just pure, observable evolution in real-time.

In this video, we explore:

How Surtsey formed from volcanic eruptions

What makes it so valuable for ecological and biological studies

What types of life have naturally arrived on the island

Why it remains strictly protected and uninhabited

What Surtsey tells us about Earth’s geological and biological processes
