Description: Often described as the "newest place on earth", Surtsey is a volcanic island off the southern coast of Iceland. It was formed by an undersea volcanic eruption that reached the surface in 1963 and continued until 1967. This volume describes Surtsey's creation, documenting the process with ample numbers of black and white and color photographs.
