Coracoralina Weddelliana

Coracoralina weddelliana is a rare and enigmatic plant species found primarily in the extreme environments of Antarctica. It thrives in the harsh conditions of glacial regions, where temperatures can plummet well below freezing. This unique organism has adapted to survive with minimal sunlight and nutrient availability. Its structure resembles a coral-like formation, giving it its distinctive name. Despite its resilience, it remains one of the least studied plants on Earth.
