Antarctic Moss is a species of moss found on both sides of the Drake Passage, the strait separating South America from the Antarctic Peninsula. It shows an extreme degree of cryptobiosis, the ability to enter a non-metabolic state that can extend its life span indefinitely, letting it survive conditions that would kill most other plants.
