Césy Island: Nature's Laboratory
Moving to Surtsey, an uninhabited volcanic island off the coast of Iceland, we find an intriguing scientific study of life. Formed by a volcanic eruption in the 1960s, this remote island is off-limits to the public. Scientists conduct ongoing research on its unique ecosystems as life gradually emerges on this untouched land.
The strict regulations protect the island’s natural development, making it a living laboratory for researchers studying ecological succession.
