Extremophile, (extrem(e) + phile) = extreme + living or liking. So extremophiles live in conditions well away from the norm. They are more specifically halophiles.
There are algae that live inside rocks in the Antarctic! And more commonly, there are the cyanobacteria, a.k.a. blue-green algae that live in boiling springs. Hope that helps.
