In Arctic and Antarctic ecology, a hypolith is a community of photosynthetic organisms, and extremophiles, that live

Hypolithons are protected by their rock from harsh ultraviolet irradiation and wind scouring. The rocks can also trap moisture and are generally translucent allowing light to penetrate while omitting incident ultra-violet
