One of my favorites finds through Twitter is Antarctic Fox. 
Heading out from our excursion to the Gentoo colony at the burned-out Brown Base, we went on a tour of the nearby cliffs that host lichen, the only vegetation that manages to grow in the Antarctic climate, albeit very slowly. A half-inchs worth of lichen can represent decades of growth! The cliffside also housed a colony of blue-eyed shags.
