THOMPSON AND MESERVE’S PURCHASE — The peak that is home to some of the world’s worst weather is also home to a rare butterfly, recently rediscovered and now being studied by biologists who are hoping to find out what it eats and how it lives in such an extreme climate.

The White Mountain fritillary, a pretty orange and black butterfly with a wingspan just under an inch and a half, has been found solely in the 4,158-acre alpine zone of New Hampshire.
