- ... that mosses grow on Mount Melbourne (pictured) in the cold Antarctic, thanks to volcanic heat?
- Comment: QPQ upon review, if I may.

This is what DYK should do: You ask did I know that there were mosses and volcanic activity in the Antarctic, and I reply genuinely, "Nope, didn't know that ... interesting." Anyways, the article meets newness and size requirements with > 5x expansion from 9/22 to 9/29. Article is also well written and makes appropriate use of citations. Earwig (here) indicated some potential (46.5%) of copyvio, but it doesn't look problematic to me, mostly just long citations and scientific nomenclature stuff. The hook is interesting, short enough, neutral, and supported by in-line citations. Just needs the QPQ. Cbl62 (talk) 23:34, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
