Extreme Conditions/Extreme Environments

An extreme environment is an environment which exhibits harsh and challenging environment conditions. These  conditions can be in the climate, landscapes and especially in certain extremes of temperature exceeding the boundaries of what a human can comfortably tolerate.


Examples of extreme environments include but are not limited to;  Antarctic, Arctic, some deserts, jungles and volcanoes, underwater, upper atmosphere, outer space, other planets. 


It is pretty amazing how certain organisms such as the white crabs in the hydrothermal vents are able to survive in such extreme environments.  


this picture, although beautiful, is an example of an extreme environment, in which some animals such as certain whales and marine mammals or fish may be able to survive, but a human cannot.

It is amazing how although scientists cannot live in these environments, they are still able to study them and come up with new inventions and means of exploring these environments.  As time goes on exploration will only get better and better
