Do tardigrades live in Antarctica? Do they freeze solid in winter to revive in summer? How do they resist destruction of cells due to ice crystals?
That's amazing. I've heard that they freeze solid in winter and revive in summer. Is that true?
Yes, it is! Tardigrades are able to survive extreme temperatures, and this includes being frozen solid during the winter months in Antarctica. They are able to come back to life once the temperature rises again.
