Lava, Fiery Ash Fail
To Quell A Gallant
Icelandic Village
By Donald J. Frederick
National Geographic Newt
The people of the fishing village
of Vestmannaeyjar on the Icelandic
island of Heimaey do not dwell on
misfortune.
More than a third of their homes
were destroyed by fire. lava, or
heavy ash from the catastrophic
volcanic eruption that almost bur
ied them in 1973. Nearly all the
5,000 islanders were evacuated to
the mainland, but as soon as the
eruption subsided, they clamored
to return to their three-by-four mile
homeland, a major fishing port.
"Upon my return to a commun
ity once again throbbing with
activity, it became clear that the
little island commands a loyalty
and devotion that few nations will
ever know." reports Noel Grove,
who had observed the eruption. His
account of the courageous life or
death struggle for a town and the
successful outcome appears in the
May National Geographic.
The most dramatic fight for the
town centered on saving the har
bor. Molten lava had pushed
toward the port entrance, threaten
ing to seal it forever. Loss of the
harbor would have closed the
fish-processing plants and driven
fishermen to the mainland, drying
up the main source of livelihood in
Vestmannaeyjar.
Firemen with hoses sprayed cold
seawater on the surging lava flow,
hoping to quick-cool it into a dam
and divert the flow away from the
harbor. This tactic may have made
the difference in the end.
Dramatically the lava pushed
into the mouth of the inlet,
stopping 175 yards short of the
cliffs on the other side, not only
sparing the harbor but actually
improving its protection from east
winds.
When the eruption finally
stopped, trucks and loaders were
shipped to the island to clear ash
that lay an average of five feet deep.
Foot by foot, over a period of
months the village was bared.
"Although 1 had lived there nearly
two weeks during the eruption. 1
now strolled through a greened and
flowered community 1 had never
known; it was like seeing a coal
miner's face scrubbed for the first
time." recalls Mr. Grove.
Much of the ash has been
removed, but the lava that spilled
from perhaps 30 miles deep in the
earth is now a permanent part of
the landscape. From the gash in its
northeast face to the sea. the new
volcano has built a russet, cindery
desert, spotted by fumaroles.
To the east it has added a square
mile to the island. In the west it has
obliterated the outskirts of the
village.
A portion of the fresh lava has
been tapped and the heat piped to
warm JO houses and the town's
50-bed hospital. "If the system
works adequately, we may enlarge
it to heat the whole town." says
Mayor Pall Zophoniasson. "There
may be enough heat in the lava to
last more than 30 years."
The island is also a hotbed of
artistic creativity. In an exhibition
of Vestmannaeyjar's art several
years ago. 24 painters showed their
work ?? a high proportion for a
village of slightly less than 5.000.
"During my visits." says Mr.
Grove. "1 have also encountered
net makers who sculpt, farmers who
write poetry, and fishermen who
compose anthems about their is
land home."
New Electron Microscopes
Spy On An Invisible World
ti? Donald J. Frederick
. ational Geographic New*
Ar incredible research tool now
taker, scientists into the Alice-in
Wonderland world of inner space.
A whole new realm of atoms and
molecules, a world man has never
seen before, has been revealed by
the electron microscope, an in
strument that enlarges images with
electrons instead of light rays.
The best optical microscopes,
limited by the wavelengths of light,
magnify no more then 2,000 times.
They resolve, or discriminate, ob
jects no closer than about 2,000
angstroms, or 1/125,000 of an
inch.
"By contrast, the best electron
microscope can magnify an incredi
ble 20 million times, with a
resolution on the order of two
angstroms," reports Kenneth F.
Weaver in the February National
Geographic.
"And even the individual atom,
which has a diameter of only about
one angstrom (about four-bil
lionths of an inch), can be photo
graphed in the same way that an
invisible mote of dust can be 'seen'
by the light scattered when the
mote floats through a bright beam
of sunlight."
Angstrom-wide atoms are so
small that it would take nearly a
million of them to equal the
thickness of a sheet of paper.
The amazing viewing power of
the electron microscope has already
had an enormous effect on the life
sciences. It is now possible to see
viruses that are as small as 60
angstroms in diameter.
Two scientists recently developed
the electron microscope to sucn a
point that thev were able *o make a
movie of uranium atoms in motion.
Biologists can even spot normal
cells changing into cancerous cells
and identify genes th^t cause
hereditary diseases.
The powerful electron micro
scope is focusing on other sciences
os well. Metallurgists are gaining
new insights into crystal structure,
learning how metals corrode and
fracture.
Materials experts are looking
in?? the heat of rubbe* molecules
to predict a tire's performance.
Ecologists tracking down pollution
can identify fine droplets of sulfuric
acid even in the pristine air of
Antarctica.
"But perhaps the most unex
pected benefit of the electron
microscope is in 'demagnifying.' "
writes Mr. Weaver.
"Today's high-speed computers,
for example, depend on tiny silicon
wafers containing intricate circuits
Drive to
arrive
alive! 3^3
and thousands of transistors. They
can be produced with photographic
masks that have been made at large
scale, then ultraminiaturized by
photography through the micro
scope-in-reverse."
Someday, scientists hope, these
techniques will make possible a
miniature computer rivaling the
human brain with its billions of
connections. The development of
grainless films already has .made
possible the reduction of printing
until each letter measures only 100
angstroms high.
At that size, all the millions of
books in the Library of Congress
could be stored on a single sheet of
paper.
