Plants found in the Arctic and from the Little Ice Age back to life.
This plant is not typical of ordinary houseplants. This species is often called bryophytes dry all winter long last showing signs of life again after some time.
But that they could survive in a frozen glacier for 400 years is a surprise.
Researchers from the University of Alberta found that these plants originated from the Canadian Arctic glaciers, according to BBC News.
This glacier is frozen partially so scientists can see this plant. They then picked up and brought to the lab.
"When we look at the plants in detail and take it to the lab, I realized there are stalks that grow new lateral branches, and I know this is being regenerated plants in the field, and I was very surprised," said Catherine La Farge who reports their findings on BBC News.
This is not the first unique finding in the Arctic. Scientists revealed last month that they found evidence of an ancient camel there - as is now found in the Sahara desert - in Arctic Canada, 3.5 million years ago.
