It is at the southern coast of Iceland.

Today entry of this island is prohibited to everyone except scientists.
It has become the natural laboratory for studying the colonisation of plants and animals.
The. Volcanic eruption began below the sea level.
The explosions were violent. Clouds of ash and steam have climbed up.
