Seven forbidden islands show how life takes empty land alone.
Surtsey rose off Iceland in 1963; by 1965 a lone sea mustard stood on bare lava. How did that seed cross open water with no human carrier? Rakata, left by Krakatau's 1883 eruption in Indonesia, held a single tiny spider by 1884. Ball's Pyramid rises 562 meters from the Tasman Sea, 23 kilometers off Lord Howe Island. On it survived an insect declared extinct in 1960. Aldabra, protected since 1982, shelters tens of thousands of giant tortoises. A Tongan island surfaced in late 2014 and was gone by January 2022. How did a wingless insect reach a rock where no boat can land?
