Iceberg Island subpopulation. Hundreds of individuals, looks like a healthy bloom this year, but the exclosure has collapsed on top of the depression. Paintbrush growing up through the mesh, doesn't look to have been any grazing/trampling.

Hundreds of plants observed in this location.

Lycopodium lagopus was previously recorded from this location by @peterzika in 2009.

I found another area with large serpentine rocks and vertical flanks, where some examples of "Fur-fern" (Pelzfarn in German) are growing scattered in cracks.
Despite that, the whole population is rather small, certainly in danger to get lost in future.
It was late then, and the brooding blackbird was not the least amused as i climbed there to take photos.

'Aleutian Sage' - extremely rare species endemic to Kiska (less than 100 individuals possibly) and nearby Hawadak (population unknown) Islands. Present on a few windswept gravelly hilltops, coastal blow-outs and WW2-disturbed sites. Possible threats include ATV use on exWW2 roads and trails, and goose predation.

Update: I think this may be Ricasolia amplissima ssp. sheiyi

'Aleutian Sage' - distinctive extremely rare species endemic to Kiska (less than 100 individuals possibly) and nearby Hawadak (population unknown) Islands. Present on a few windswept gravelly hilltops, coastal blow-outs and WW2-disturbed sites. Possible threats include ATV use on exWW2 roads and trails, and goose predation.

Last image shows habitat and one plant with nearby Geum Rossii and Claytonia arctica (another rare species at Kiska) above Witchcraft Point

Exact location plotted. 5 separate colonies in a two-block stretch.

This species was considered extirpated from BC for many decades after last being collected in 1939 in Nanaimo. The modern records from the lower mainland are likely an unintentional reintroduction however, rather than a long-undetected remnant population.

Следуя за тревожным треском какой-то птицы, я стал подниматься по горному склону и метров через 50 увидел беспокойную певчую славку, сразу улетевшую от меня подальше, а за кустом, слившись с лишайниками, притаилась гюрза.

Гюрза, или левантская гадюка - ядовитая змея из рода гигантских гадюк. Голова очень крупная и широкая, с резким шейным перехватом, морда круглая, зрачок вертикальный.

Гюрза — одна из самых опасных змей для домашних животных и человека. В критической ситуации она способна совершать броски на длину тела в сторону противника. Яд гюрзы обладает резко выраженным гемолитическим действием и по токсичности уступает только яду кобры. При укусе эта змея вводит 50 мг яда, и без своевременного и правильного лечения нередки случаи гибели.

На снимке нуратинская гюрза – самая маленькая из всех гюрз, достигающая в длину до 90 см, но при этом самая красивая, с ярко выраженным рисунком в виде зигзага оранжевого или кирпичного цвета или цепочки пятен.

Нуратинские гюрзы питаются в основном птицами. На Нуратинском хребте придерживаются лессовых обрывов, где систематически обходят норы золотистых щурок, сизоворонок и ласточек. А весной и осенью на пролете перелетных птиц забираются на верхушки деревьев и кустов, где ловят скворцов, дроздов и мелких воробьиных. Кроме того, рыщут по земле в поисках гнезд наземногнездящихся птиц.

Following the disturbing crackle of a bird, I began to climb the mountainside and 50 meters later saw the restless Western Orphean warbler, immediately flew away from me, and behind a Bush, lurked blunt-nosed viper, merging with lichens.

The GURZA, or the Levantine Viper, is a poisonous snake of the genus giant vipers. Head very large and broad, with a sharp cervical interception, the face is round, the pupil is vertical.

GURZA — one of the most dangerous snakes for Pets and humans. In a critical situation she is able to make throws on the length of the body in the direction of the enemy. GURZA poison has a pronounced hemolytic effect and toxicity is second only to Cobra venom. When bitten, this snake introduces 50 mg of poison, and without timely and proper treatment, there are cases of death.

In the picture Nurata GURZA – the smallest of all the gurz, reaching a length of up to 90 cm, but the most beautiful, with a pronounced pattern in the form of a zigzag orange or brick color or a chain of spots.

Nurata GURZA feed mainly on birds. On the Nurata ridge adhere to loess cliffs, where p is systematically burrows of bee-eaters, rollers and swallows. And in the spring and autumn on migration of migratory birds climb on tops of trees and bushes where catch starlings, thrushes and small sparrows. In addition, scouring the ground in search of nests of terrestrial birds.
