NASA scientists find life in 50,000-year-old crystals Naica cave in Mexico | Life in Extreme Condition

In a Mexican cave system so beautiful and hot that it is called both Fairyland and hell, scientists have discovered life trapped in crystals that could be 50,000 years old.

The bizarre and ancient microbes were found dormant in caves in Naica, Mexico, and were able to exist by living on minerals such as iron and manganese.

Penelope Boston, head of NASA's Astrobiology Institute, described it as 'super life,' when she presented the discovery on Friday at the American Association for the Advancement of Science conference in Boston
