Arctic #algae aren't immobile or entombed. They're not just surviving either—they're gliding into the record books https://phys.org/news/2025-09-scientists-uncover-extreme-life-arctic.html

"When they compared #Arctic diatoms with temperate relatives gliding along glass, the polar species moved much faster, hinting at an evolutionary advantage... Could they be moving resources through the Arctic food web?"
