SURTSEY
The island of Surtsey has been added to the
UNESCO World Heritage List of natural sites
that are unique in the world.
Surtsey is unique in that it has been protected from any
human impact on its natural evolution right from its
genesis. The exhibition SURTSEY - GENESIS at the Culture
House, produced by the Icelandic Institute of Natural
History, traces the emergence and evolution of the island
Surtsey up to the present day and predicts its geographical
and ecological development over the next 120 years.
