An island that no one can get to and that did not exist until 1963
Today it is perfectly clear that no matter how curious people are, how much they like to travel and discover something new for themselves and of the world, there are places on our planet that can never be reached. One of them is the unique island of Surtsey in Iceland.

Surtsey is a piece of land formed in 1963 after a huge volcanic eruption, which lasted three years. Now this land is used for scientific research and observations.

The main focus of the work here is on a better understanding of how the ecosystem is formed from scratch, without any human intervention
There are only a few scientists who have access to the island. And this makes Surtsey one of the most forbidden and mysterious places on Earth.

There is a curious story about tomatoes on the island. Since the territory is closely monitored, there is only one small house in which several researchers live. Before entering Surtsey, every person undergoes strict inspection, because one of the main rules is that no seeds get to the island.
