No matter how much you travel, there are some places you’ll never be able to visit. One of them is this very unique island in Iceland.

Surtsey was formed after a volcanic eruption in 1963. Today, the island serves scientific purposes – the scientists want to understand how an ecosystem forms itself without humans affecting it. Only a few people are allowed to enter the island – they are, of course, scientists who get special instructions about not leaving anything behind and are thoroughly inspected before entering.
