Field work in 2020 on the Alaid volcano located on the Atlasov Island in the Kuril island arc was carried out in the coastal zone from Cape Devyatka to Cape Kudryavy. Base camp was located in the site of the former fishing base Devyatka. At the time of the research, the Alaid volcano performed only fumarolic activity. We sampled rocks and fresh water. We also sampled copper, found, as in other slopes of Alaid Volcano, in cracks or in a form of solid covers. We also measured magnetic susceptibility of rocks in their natural manifestations. The unexpected but important outcome of field work was the discovery of a new colony of snails from the Bradybaenidae family, what allows us to confidently say that these snails have survived the eruptions of Alaid Volcano in the XX and XXI centuries.
