Have you ever seen archaebacteria? You probably have not because the live in extreme conditions and they are microscopic. They range from living in places like hot springs to places like the cold arctic. Some archaebacteria even live in swamps and some even in volcanoes.

All Archaebacteria are unicellular. This meaning that they are a one celled organism and are too small to see without a microscope. They are also prokaryotic, an organism without a nucleus. Archaebacteria have cell walls. They all live in extreme environments giving them the name “Extremophiles”. Some of these Extremophiles include heat loving, salt loving, methane making, and ice making. // Ice loving extremophiles // love the extreme cold. They live at the bottom of Ace Lake in Antarctica. There is no oxygen and it is 33 degrees Fahrenheit. The areas of land in Arctic and Antarctic are either permanently frozen. It is unfrozen in the few weeks of summer there is. An interesting fact is there is a possibility that there is life on ice bound moon of Jupiter which of course would be the //Ice loving extremophiles.// Edem Ryan Ashley Ariel
