The northernmost plant

 

National Geographic went to the ends of the Earth.

Again (they've been there before). 

The last flower at the top of the world—and the perilous journey to reach it

"Here, above the Arctic Circle, the planet is warming four times faster than anywhere else on Earth. Changes here will have ripple effects across the globe, which is why the team braved harsh conditions to find what lives on the edge."

If you want to know where it is, I found it on Google Maps.  The satellite photography isn't even good.

Read the article if you want to see the last flower.  Here's the species, the Arctic poppy.
