Extreme cold temperatures have shaped Antarctic environments and the life that lives within them. Microorganisms affiliated with the three domains of life - Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukaryote - can be found in Antarctic environments from deep subglacial lakes to dry deserts and from deep oceans to col...
