00:00During sub-zero Antarctic winters, marine invertebrates like the hairworm face lethal cellular damage from ice crystal formation.
00:08How does this tiny creature survive solid extracellular ice encapsulation without shearing its vital membranes?
00:16Instead of relying on blubber, the worm allows ice to form inside its body.
00:22It synthesizes cryoprotectant sugars rapidly, accumulating high concentrations inside cells to prevent freezing damage.
00:30This cryoprotective shield keeps cellular metabolism suspended until the polar spring thaw arrives.
