Generally, bacteria requires a host in order to multiply and remain viable. However, there are endospores that can remain viable for millions of years withstanding the freezing environment.
Dormant bacteria are extremely difficult to identify.
However, in recent years, as scientists have drilled access to sub-glacial lakes -- Lake Vostok and Lake Whillins -- bacteria have been found. As of February 2013, scientists were analyzing the DNA of these organisms to determine their identity.
It is possible that these organisms have never been seen before on earth.
What's interesting to learn is that these sub-glacial lakes are liquid, possibly because of their proximity to the molten core of the earth.
