Beneath the icy waters of Iceland, a volcano awakens with fury. It spews burning lava that grows until it reaches the surface. What a spectacle of nature! A new island has been born in the middle of the ocean. Today, Surtsey is a protected nature reserve, visited by scientists who observe how life evolves, how the Earth writes its own history in real time. The dates and information included in this book, in the form of a visual diary, come from the researchers who described the events as they observed them.
