Anybody try to grow grass in a cold climate.

Grass seeds are only good for a few years. The roots can recover if they are not frozen for 10,000 years. IE, this is such BS.

I really hate this junk science stuff and the worst thing is that it will become a known "fact" in no time, that grass is taking over Antartica (which has been frozen for 40 million years now.) It is such a battle for the scientific community to go against the stream when these factoids get reported so widely and become part of the cultural myths.

Plus the area in question is not even truly polar. I believe the latitude is lower than 66 deg S latitude.

The article itself says that there have always been "tufts" in Antarctica. 'Nuff said. This is media hype.
