According to the study published in Current Biology, scientists have been able to extract and revive moss that is believed to be 1500 years old from beneath the ice of the Antarctic.This is a major first development for scientists as previously they have only been able to pull out microbes and permafrost.They have not succeeded in reviving any multicellular structures that are as old as this moss or anything that can regenerate.This moss was extracted from a moss bank in the island of Signy within the Antarctic Peninsula.
