Cryptic microbial communities develop within rocky substrates in Antarctica’s McMurdo Dry Valleys as a stress avoidance strategy. They may be cryptoendolithic within pore spaces of weathered rocks, or develop in cracks and fissures as chasmoendolithic communities and are characterised by coloured bands of colonisation. Here we used a precision dril...
