Extremophiles are remarkable examples of life's resilience, thriving in hot springs at boiling temperatures, in brine lakes saturated with salt, and in the driest deserts. We review the biogeography, currently known limits of life, and molecular adaptations to extremes. See the online interactive map for additional detail on biogeography, environmental microbiology, and exemplary species. To view this SnapShot, open or download the PDF.
