On Bartolome Island, close to Galapagos landmark, the "Pinnacle Rock", part of the island is constituted by rather late lava ground, where vegetation does not really have had time to establish itself. But these strange, white plants constitute one of the first generations of immigrants, reminiscent of our shrubs when covered in heavy frost. In this strange environment, I found a female of Small ground-finch, one of the typical Darwin finches.
