In this question, a passage is given followed by a statement. Read the passage carefully and judge the statement based on the given passage. The majority of the Antarctic continent is covered by permanent ice and snow leaving less than 1% available for colonisation by plants. Most of this ice and snow-free lands are found along the Antarctic Peninsula, its associated islands and in coastal regions around the edge of the Antarctic continent. Even in the most inhospitable ice-free habitats, such as inland mountains and nunataks, life can still be found. There are no trees or shrubs, and only two species of flowering plants are found: Antarctic hair grass and Antarctic pearlwort. The vegetation is predominantly made up of lower plant groups (mosses, liverworts, lichens and fungi) that are specially adapted to surviving in extreme environments – in particular tolerating low temperatures and dehydration. There are around 100 species of mosses, 25 species of liverworts, 300 to 400 species of lichens and 20 species of macro-fungi. The greatest diversity of species is found along the western side of the Antarctic Peninsula where the climate is generally warmer and wetter than elsewhere in the Antarctic continent.
Statement: 
Life is impossible in ice-free habitats like inland mountains and nunataks.
