The SUSTAIN drilling project offers a unique opportunity for the study of microbial communities within the basalt of a very young oceanic island, 50 years after the eruptions terminated. Pauline Bergsten and other scientists examined the diversity, distribution, and abundance of microorganisms in subaerial and submarine pyroclastic rocks and fluids from Surtsey.
