Answer 2

No plants live at the South Pole, which is about 9,000 feet above sea level and covered with an ice sheet.

There are two short grasses that grow on the western side of the Antarctic Peninsula, about 1,600 miles north of the South Pole. Their terrain is rocky soil that thaws during the full-sun summer months, so they can root in the ground. They withstand harsh wind, sea water and freezing temperatures.
