I read a really cool article in "The Smithsonian" a few years ago about a
scientific expedition to high, isolated plateaus somewhere in South
America (I think). These plateaus were at the top of steep cliffs and
quite small; life had evolved on each somewhat in isolation, much as on an
island. The expeditions traveled to them by helicopter and documented the
animal and plant life found on each. I read that and thought "This really
sounds fun and exciting." There are accounts of other expeditions from
time to time in "Smithsonian" and other natural history magazines.
