Earth is the only place in the universe that we directly associated with life. We are used to thinking that life is very fragile and defenseless, but it turned out that in some, perfect corners of our planet, unsuitable for its development, it exists contrary to the very laws of nature. What is this places? Space vacuum

The orbital vacuum around our earth is saturated with deadly radiation and, it would seem, is completely unsuitable for life. However, for the tiny eight-legged creatures known as “aquatic bears or tardigrades, these conditions are quite acceptable. Except increased radiation, tardigrades can easily withstand vibrations temperatures from + 90C to -196C degrees, as well as pressure, exceeding atmospheric 6000 times. Deep underground

Scientists have discovered bacteria that have adapted to life deep underground. These creatures feel great while being kilometers from the surface and not getting such important elements, like sunlight, moisture and nutrients. Energy for his bacteria derive their vital activity from radioactive decay elements of the earth’s crust and do not depend on the rest of the surrounding factors. Salty mud at the bottom of the sea

It turns out that some microbes can survive even in the deprived oxygen very salty mud at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. These strange creatures known as loriciferans somewhat resemble jellyfish, and their existence in this harsh habitat allows hope that in alien worlds, with minimal content in oxygen atmosphere, life can also develop. Ice Antarctica

Recently, scientists have revived the microbes that were in frozen in the glaciers of the lakes of Antarctica for million years. This proves that life can adapt to the most difficult and extreme conditions. Dry cold valleys

The valleys of Antarctica are so cold and dry that they are considered the best analogue of Mars on Earth. However, the soil of the valleys is far from lifeless, it is full of microbes, the very existence of which gives rise to the hope that life can be found on Red the planet. The Dead Sea
A photo from open sources the Dead Sea got its name from because it is the most saline body of water in the world, the environment which is too tough for most life forms. Nonetheless, there were lovers of this super salty pickle – “halophilic microbes “who managed to not only adapt to unacceptable to other forms of life conditions, but also beautifully behaved feel. Space sterility
A photo from open sources Whenever NASA’s probes are launched space, they undergo thorough sterilization in order to accidentally “do not pollute” extraterrestrial bodies with our life, and also do not deliver alien organisms to Earth. However, despite to all these precautions, some microbes survive and “hares” travel in space. Boiling water

However high fever and crazy pressure is not a reason for some living organisms to find more comfortable living environment. On the contrary, such sources are cozy home to annelids, giant mollusks, eyeless shrimp and other, no less extreme inhabitants of deep water. Radiation waste
A photo from open sources One-time human radiation exposure a dose of 10 Gy is fatal for him. However, this type bacteria like Deinococcus can easily withstand the radiation dose up to 15000 gr. Agree, the difference is impressive! And that’s why the bacterium is listed in the Guinness Book of Records. Tar lake

A lake made of hot, bubbling tar is unlikely Seems fit for life to someone. But, not to bacteria! In the largest resin lake on the Caribbean island Trinidad, for every gram of resin, up to 10 million microbes.
