We're constantly re-evaluating the potential for life. We're finding it where we didn't think it could exist, such as volcanic vents and other extreme conditions like under arctic ice. We're finding life in these incredibly harsh and dynamic conditions, so we're having to re-evaluate our own ideas of what's possible on this planet alone.

About 6,000 years ago, St. Paul Island, a tiny spot of land in the middle of the Bering Sea, must have been a strange place. Hundreds of miles away from the mainland, it was uninhabited except for a few species of small mammals, like arctic foxes, and one big one: woolly mammoths.

 turning the feedback loop positive for all but a couple of months. While negative feedback loops encourage stability by pushing a system towards equilibrium, positive feedback loops destabilize it by enabling larger and larger deviations. And the recently increased impact of positive feedbacks may have consequences far beyond the Arctic.
