Glacier mice are colonies of mosses that are found on top of glaciers. They can be composed of multiple species of moss[1], and can also host other species, such as worms, springtails, and water bears[2]. Glacier mice are notable for their movement across the ice, which appears to be non-random, taking the form of herd-like behavior. This movement is as yet unexplained[3], and does not appear to be the solely the product of wind, or the direction of a slope. The use of accelerometers has demonstrated that glacier mice do in fact rotate, rather than simply sliding across the ice.
