Antarctic hair grass (Deschampsia Antarctica) survives in extreme Antarctic conditions by developing a range of adaptations. It has a deep root system that allows it to access moisture and nutrients in the soil, even in harsh, cold environments. The grass also has a high tolerance for cold temperatures, desiccation, and exposure to UV radiation, enabling it to thrive in the nutrient-poor, windy, and icy conditions of the region. Additionally, its ability to grow quickly during the brief summer months helps it maximize its reproductive success.
