In 1965 the activity on the main island diminished, but at the end of May that year an eruption began at a vent 0.6 km (0.37 mi) off the northern shore. By 28 May an island had appeared, and was named Syrtlingur (Little Surtsey).The new island was washed away during early June, but reappeared on 14 June.ffusive eruptions continued until 1965, by which time the island had a surface area of 2.5 km 2 (0.97 sq mi). On 28 December 1963 submarine activity 2.5 km (1.5 mi) to the north-east of Surtsey caused the formation of a ridge 100 m (328 ft) high on the sea floor.
Very strong winds are common in Vestmannaeyjar (Westman Islands) area, and shore erosion by oceanic waves is therefore substantial. For example, in an extreme storm on January 8 and 9, 1990, the average wave height reached 14 m southeast of Surtsey, which means that the highest waves were approximately 20 m high.Marine erosion is therefore tremendous in Surtsey.he palagonite tuff in Surtsey is very dense with few fissures, similar to the outer Vestmannaeyjar. In the future, Surtsey will most likely resemble the island Bjarnarey, which is approximately 5000-6000 years old. See a slideshow of erosion and sedimentation in Surtsey (author: Sveinn.
