Reseña del libro "Life on Surtsey: Iceland'S Upstart Island (Scientists in the Field)"

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 recognized Surtsey for what it was: an opportunity to observe the way life takes hold. Loree Griffin Burns follows entomologist Erling Ólafsson 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 it&;s like to eat and work while making the smallest impact possible, and the passion driving these remarkable scientists in one of the world&;s most unique fields ever!
