This ice stream in Antarctica is the perfect place for psychrophiles to live.
Ice caves are the perfect place to look for psychrophiles. They are formed by running water below the surface of a glacier. This is a river of ice and it does flow slowly down the side of this glacier.

This ice sheets in this floe are glued together by frozen water. Mountain streams are cold enough to support psycrophillic life. Ice jams the flow of water on the surface of this river.
