When it's really dark, it's really a black and white world, I would say, where you see some gray shades of things and you see stars and the moon. It's really quiet here. There's wind, there's instrument noise, there's ship sounds and snowmobiles, but like natural sounds, it's probably mostly the wind and the snow moving. It's a very big, dark world.

So the traditional thinking was very much when there is no light, there can't be active light. So what people have assumed is happening is that these cells hibernate. So they are in a resting stage. Some of them form actual resting spores that are very durable. And then they can overwinter, for example, in the sea ice.
