Thanks for the additional detail! It is really fascinating to think about not just the individual traits but the collective traits and behavior of life across Earth that got it where it is today. Indeed, I'm not surprised so much at finding life in all the cracks on earth (there is life even deep in the crust!) but moreso I didn't realize the scope of it (interior biomes, exterior biomes, etc). Really cool stuff. Makes me appreciate the trees even more.
