Photographer Rachel Sussman has set out on a fascinating ongoing expedition – researching, working with biologists, and traveling around the world – to photograph living organisms, aged 2000 years old and older. The Oldest Living Things in the World. A few:
Clonal Spruce, Sweden (c.9,500 years old)
la llareta, Atacama Desert, Chile (up to 3,000 years old)
Siberian actinobacteria, Niels Bohr Institute, Copenhagen (400,000 years old)
Sagole Baobab, Limpopo Province, South Africa (2,000 years old)
Truly Amazing!
