Europe's forbidden island: emerged from ocean 63 years ago and keeps shrinking

The volcanic island Surtsey off Iceland's coast emerged from the ocean and has gradually shrunk since. Public access is prohibited — the area is strictly protected as a scientific reserve. Researchers observe how life appears on bare rock from nothing. Visitors can only view it from water or air.
