Summary:
"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. We follow 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 places. The
Scientists
in the Field series shows people immersed in the unpredictable and dynamic natural world, making science more accessible, relevant, and exciting to young readers. Far from the research laboratory, these books show firsthand adventures in the great outdoors - adventures with a purpose."--Provided by publisher.
