The volcanic island of Surtsey, off the south coast of Iceland, was formed by shallow ocean-emergent basaltic volcanism in 1963-1967. There were several episodes of activity, migrating between five vents (Surtur, Surtla, Surtungur, Syrtlingur and Jólnir) to form a discontinuous ~5.8 km-long mostly s...
