All visitors check themselves and belongings to ensure no seeds are accidentally introduced by humans to this ecosystem. The eruption rate diminished steadily, though, and on 5 June 1967, the eruption ended. Her kan man på land studere mange af de geologiske processer, som ellers sker dybt nede på havbunden. Sep - 5. By 28 May, an island had appeared, and was named During December 1965, more submarine activity occurred 0.9 km (0.56 mi) southwest of Surtsey, and another island was formed.

The first The only significant human impact is a small prefabricated hut which is used by researchers while staying on the island.

Cette érosion est celle subie par l'île depuis sa formation et se poursuit au rythme d'un hectare par anLorsque ces terrains meubles auront disparu et mis au jour le cœur du volcan composé de tuf à Sauf nouvelle éruption volcanique et au rythme actuel de l'érosion, Surtsey devrait ressembler d'ici le début du Cette protection de Surtsey entreprise depuis son émersion permet aux scientifiques d'affirmer que l'île n'accueille aucune espèce animale ou végétale dont la présence pourrait être imputée à une intervention humaineL'observation scientifique de Surtsey dans le but d'étudier l'arrivée de la vie a commencé pendant son éruption une fois que l'île était suffisamment grande et sûre pour que des scientifiques puissent y débarquerLa présence d'insectes, d'une terre vierge exempte de tout À cet endroit, la formation végétale est essentiellement composée de Sous la surface de la mer, la vie s'est aussi installée sur les flancs immergés de Surtsey.
The original arrivals were flying insects, carried to the island by winds and their own power. A large area on the southeast side has been eroded away completely, while a sand spit called Following the end of the eruption, scientists established a grid of benchmarks against which they measured the change in the shape of the island. As birds began nesting on the island, soil conditions improved, and more vascular plant species were able to survive. Some were believed to have been blown across from as far away as The establishment of insect life provided some food for birds, and birds in turn helped many species to become established on the island.

Surtsey was the island born from an underwater volcanic eruption off the south coast of Iceland in 1963 In the 20 years following the end of the eruption, measurements revealed that the island was steadily subsiding and had lost about one metre in height. The sea floor at the eruption site is 130 metres (430 feet) below sea level, and at this depth volcanic emissions and explosions would be suppressed, quenched and dissipated by the water pressure and density. Sep - 5. Insects arrived on Surtsey soon after its formation, and were first detected in 1964.

It was formed in a volcanic eruptionwhich began 130 metres (430 feet) below sea level, and reached the surface on 14 November 1963. There is also an abandoned lighthouse foundation. Elle s'est formée à la suite d'une éruption volcanique qui a commencé à 130 mètres sous le niveau de la mer aux alentours du 10 novembre 1963, a atteint la surface le 14 novembre 1963 et s'est terminée le 5 juin 1967. In 1998, the first As well as providing a home for some species of birds, Surtsey has also been used as a stopping-off point for On the submarine portion of the island, many marine species are found. The eruption lasted until 5 June 1967, when the island reached its maximum size of 2.7 km (1.0 sq mi). At 63°18′11″N 20°36′18″W / 63.303°N 20.605°W , Surtsey is the southernmost point of Iceland. The bodies of dead birds provide sustenance for Some higher forms of land life are now colonising the soil of Surtsey. Gradually, as repeated flows built up a mound of material that approached sea level, the explosions could no longer be contained, and activity broke the surface.The first noticeable indications of volcanic activity were recorded at the seismic station in As the eruptions continued, they became concentrated at one vent along the fissure and began to build the island into a more circular shape.

The total volume of lava emitted during the three-and-a-half-year eruption was about one cubic kilometre (0.24 cu mi), and the island's highest point was 174 metres (571 feet) above sea level at that time.Since the end of the eruption, erosion has seen the island diminish in size. Assuming that the current rate does not change, the island will be mostly at or below sea level by 2100.
