High in the Andes Mountains, dagger-shaped ice spires house thriving microbial communities, offering an oasis for life in one of Earth’s harshest environments as well as a possible analogue for life on other planets.

Vast networks of seismic lines that run through Alberta’s boreal forest boost emissions of methane.
