Oldest Living Things in The World

Llaerta 23B26 1068

Besides the canonical Bristlecone Pine, there are many other organism on earth that will outlive you. Photographer Rachel Sussman has been traveling around the world to find and photograph them. I'm surprised by the number and variety of long-lived organisms. I very much like that she includes the low lifes -- lichen and so forth. You can keep up with her investigations with her intelligent blog.
