The resultant regolith supports rare alpine/Arctic flora which includes Spring Gentian (Gentiana verna); Bird’s Eye Primrose (Primula farinosa); Mountain Avens (Dryas octupetala) and Teesdale Violet (Viola rupestris). This is an example of the intimate interaction and dependence of geology and ecology.

“Let us learn to live coarsely, dress plainly, and lie hard. The least habit of dominion over the palate has certain good effects not easily estimated.”

“And year by year the landscape grow
Familiar to the stranger’s child;”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“Where the heart is, there the muses, there the gods sojourn, and not in any geography of fame. Massachusetts, Connecticut River, and Boston Bay, you think paltry places, and the ear loves names of foreign and classic topography. But here we are; and, if we tarry a little, we may come to learn that here is best. See to it, only, that thyself is here;—and art and nature, hope and fate, friends, angels, and the Supreme Being, shall not absent from the chamber where thou sittest.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
