Description: 
The investigation and study of Antarctic dry valleys has contributed substantially to an understanding of desert soil microbial ecology in a harsh environment prior to the search for life in extra terrestrial environments. The irregular distibution and low abundance of life in the dry valleys provides a valuable test area for life-detection methods.
