However, lower plant species like algae, mosses and lichens exist, maintain their survival during winter and grow very slowly in summer when snow melts in lakes and stream begin to flow, In such a place where there is a harsh combination of rapidly changing temperature, strong dry winds, irregular nutrient and water supply, frequent snow drifts and blizzards, the only way of growing plants is through protected cultivation. DARL suggested a plan for establishing a green house for cultivation of vegetables at Maitri, in the Schirmacher Oasis (Queen Maud Land-East Antarctica). In a properly oriented green house, as at Maitri, auxiliary heating is not required during summer months except during high speed winds and blizzards. During Ninth Antarctic Expedition some vegetables like tomato, coriander and few flowers were grown in greenhouse. The environmental control systems were non functional. The temperature was being maintained manually to some extent.
