Discover the resilient world of rock vegetation, thriving in some of the most extreme environments on Earth. From the rugged slopes of Mount Ushba in Svaneti, Georgia, where the hardy Balsamiferous spurge (Euphorbis balsmifera) clings to life, to the volcanic landscapes of Iceland and Hawaii. Witness the Asian swordfern (Nephrolepis brownii) acting as a pioneer plant on young pahoehoe lava in Hawaii, and marvel at the tenacity of life in the harsh lava fields around Hverfell or Hverfjall crater in Iceland.
