Description: Life on Surtsey: Iceland's Upstart Island by Loree Griffin Burns Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description In this addition to the Scientists in the Field series, readers join scientists as they tackle something unusual in the world of ecosystems: colonization. Not a colonization by people, but by cells, seeds, spores, and other life forms that blow in, fly in, float in, and struggle to survive on the beautiful but harsh new island of Surtsey. Publisher Description On November 14, 1963, a volcano fifteen miles off the shore of Iceland exploded under the sea, resulting in a brand-new island. Scientists immediately recognised Surtsey for what it was: an opportunity to observe the way life takes hold. Loree Griffin Burns follows entomologist Erling Olafsson on a five-day trip to Surtsey, where since 1970 he has studied the arrival and survival of insects and other species. Readers see how demanding conditions on Surtsey can be, what its like to eat and work while making the smallest impact possible, and the passion driving these remarkable scientists in one of the worlds most unique fields ever!
