Only the largest islet, Belmonte, has mosses and grass on it. The other rocks are mostly barren, except for some sea algae and fungi that can tolerate the salt spray. Seabirds, including the brown booby ("Sula leucogaster"), brown noddy ("Anous stolidus"), and black noddy ("Anous minutus") as well as crabs ("Grapsus grapsus"), insects and spiders live on the rocks. The islands are home to over 100 reef fishes. About 10% of them are found nowhere else in the world, including the very colorful "Tosanoides aphrodite".

This frog is usually gray or green in color. Sometimes it is brown or light brown instead. The female frog lays eggs in temporary bodies of water. The tadpoles grow fast so they become frogs before the water dries up. The tadpoles have round bodies. The skin on their backs is black in color. Parts of their tails are gray-brown in color. This frog can eat smaller frogs. Because human beings brought it to places where it did not always live, it has become an invasive specie. It eats the frogs that have lived in those places a long time. It makes a chemical in its skin that can harm human skin.

Classical physics is a group of physics theories that predate modern, more complete, or more widely applicable theories. If a currently accepted theory is considered to be modern, and its introduction represented a major paradigm shift, then the previous theories, or new theories based on the older paradigm, will often be referred to as belonging to the area of "classical physics". As such, the definition of a classical theory depends on context. Classical physical concepts are often used when modern theories are unnecessarily complex for a particular situation.

Brazing is a metal-joining process. Two or more metal items are joined together by melting and flowing a filler metal into the joint. The filler metal has a lower melting point than the adjoining metal. Brazing differs from welding because it does not melt the work pieces. Brazing differs from soldering because it uses a higher temperature and more closely fitted parts than soldering.  During the brazing process, the filler metal flows into the gap between close-fitting parts by capillary action.  The filler metal is brought slightly above its melting temperature. while protected by a suitable atmosphere, usually a flux. It then flows over the base metal and joins the work pieces together. A big advantage of brazing is it can join the same or different metals with considerable strength.

With a wingspan of up to , it is the largest of the Albatrosses of the northern hemisphere. While breeding occurs in large colonies, the adult birds prefer a solitary life. It is a good flyer. 1949, almost all birds were thought to be extinct. When a few were re-discovered in 1951, they were protected.

They are oportunists, and will also feed on the organic waste ships throw overboard.  Although related to the other North Pacific albatrosses, it also exhibits behavioural and morphological links to the albatrosses of the Southern Ocean. It was described by the German naturalist Peter Simon Pallas from skins collected by Georg Wilhelm Steller (after whom its other common name is derived). Once common, it was brought to the edge of extinction by the trade in feathers, but with protection efforts underway since the 1950s, the species is in the process of recovering with an increasing population trend. Its breeding range, however, remains small. It is a part of the albatross family.
