They maybe something in the soil of colder climates, desperately clinging on to existence, needing just a few degrees more heat to thrive. Either way, I find these articles about new life discoveries fascinating.

There are some bacterias in the russian permafrost that have been hanging on for a few hundred thousand years at this point (they aren't dividing, just repairing themselves in wait for a better environment, they're the same cells that got frozen up all that long time ago).

Possibly some simpler and more robust organism may lurk under arctic ice for a better time.
