Studied for its extremophilic microorganisms, hot springs and hydrothermal vents, findings suggest life can thrive in high-temperature, acidic conditions.

Examined for its hyperarid conditions, nearly devoid of life, findings aid understanding of potential life on arid extraterrestrial environments like Mars.

Challenging deep-ocean environment, extreme pressure, dark and cold conditions, research has found novel microorganisms living without sunlight.

Subglacial lake in Antarctica, offers insights into life in cold, dark, and isolated conditions, possibly similar to Jupiter's moon Europa.

Studied for microbial life that processes sulfur instead of oxygen, similarities to early Earth environments, contribution to the understanding of chemosynthesis.

One of Earth's oldest rock formations, analysis of stromatolites, contributes to understanding the conditions where life could have originated on Earth.

Acidic river in Spain, high concentrations of iron and sulfide, studying extremophiles here informs potential life on Mars due to similar mineralogy and acidity.

Alkaline hydrothermal vents, unlike typical black smokers, its unique chemistry suggests how life might form in water-rock interactions without organic molecules.

Studied for permafrost and cryoenvironments that could mimic conditions on Mars or Saturn's moon Enceladus, microbial life persists in extreme cold and radiation.

Study of extremophiles in volcanic regions, microbial life in high-temperature sulfur-rich conditions, informs about possibilities of life on exoplanets.

Investigated for microbial communities in hydrothermal vents, offers context for thermophilic life-forms and implications for subsurface life on Mars.
