This is false. Plant life on and around the Antarctic continent includes bryophytes (mosses and liverworts), 200 species of lichen, over 600 species of algae (most of which are phytoplankton), seaweed, pearl-wort and hair grass.

∙ 10y agoThere are certainly plants living in Antarctica, but it is too cold for trees, shrubs and flowers to grow there. Plant life on and around the Antarctic continent is restricted to bryophytes (mosses and liverworts), 200 species of lichen, over 600 species of algae (most of which are phytoplankton), seaweed, pearl-wort and hair grass, and to the coastal areas and Antarctic peninsula.
