Answer: Surtsey - a newly formed volcanic island off the coast of Iceland was named for Surtur, a fire giant of Norse mythology. Matti, giantamoeba, Siddarth Pai, Krithi and Divya got it. Well done.
Surtsey is a volcanic island off the southern coast of Iceland. It was formed in a volcanic eruption November 1963. It was named Surtsey, meaning ‘Surtur’s island’ – Surtur being a fire giant of Norse mythology.
