The Heart of the Antarctic Appendix One

The Heart of the Antarctic, Appendix I was about all the unique organisms the research team saw while exploring the Antarctic. The climate was extremely cold so, one can imagine how surprised the researchers were to find several single celled organisms living in these temperatures. It is amazing that these organisms have adapted to such extreme conditions.

This article got me to think about how certain animals can adapt to there environment no matter what it is. There are some organisms that can live in the extreme cold, as mentioned in the article. However, there are certain shrimps that can live in extreme heat near vents deep in the ocean. There are also organisms that can give in extreme salinity. After reading about all these adaptations, I started to wonder if humans lived in extreme conditions, how would we adapt?
