Antarctica plants...

...not a lot going on.

No trees or shrubs, and only two kinds of flowering plants.  Moss, lichen and algae round out the rest.

Weirdly, it was a relief to see even these small patches of green after days of rock and ice.  Touching is a big no-no... apparantely it can take years even for this little patches to get a footing.

This is as big as they come - Antarctic hair grass.

Other than that its just moss and fuzz...

If its plants you want to see, hit up the Amazon on the way back home.
