  The most exciting are called Archaea, because they live in all the places we can’t. The live where it’s very hot, where it’s very cold, where it’s very acidic and where its very alkali. That’s why they are called Extremophiles. They live in hot volcanic springs and hot, deep ocean vents and even in ice.
