some things not many, but some can survive and thrive in areas that are inhabitable to most, such as hot springs or valcanic vents on the floor of the ocean where water temp maqy reach 1200 degrees and pressures would crush any human.

What is the oldest National Park in the United States?
Yellowstone National Park was the first, established in 1872. It is located in Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. However, the oldest park in the National Park system is Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas. It was established as Hot Springs Reservation in 1832 (the concept of a National Park did not yet exist at the time). It was the first time that a piece of land had been set aside by the federal government to preserve its use by the people. Hot Springs Reservation was renamed Hot Springs National Park in 1921. Actually, the National Park Service did not exist until 1916, so Yellowstone's date of 1872 cannot be valid if you don't accept Hot Spring's date of 1832. The "facts" are that Congress established Hot Springs Arkansas Reservation as a National Park on April 20, 1832. On March 1st, 1872, Congress established Yellowstone as the second National Park. A National Park printing in 1921 listed Hot Springs National Park as the first and Yellowstone as the second, but sometime in the 1930s, someone in the park service decided that Hot Springs was too urban and that Yellowstone, with its wilderness spaces and park rangers, was a better representation of what a "park" should be. History was therefore, re-written.
