Bristlecone pine trees
Bristlecone pine trees (Pinus longaeva) on a mountainside. These are thought to be the oldest living organisms on Earth, with one tree found to be some 4700 years old. The trees only grow at high altitudes in the south-western USA. They grow very slowly due to the cold and dry soils. Photographed in California, USA

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Bristlecone pine trees, standing tall on a mountainside. These ancient beings, scientifically known as Pinus longaeva, are believed to be the oldest living organisms on our planet. Astonishingly, one of these resilient trees has been dated back to an astounding age of approximately 4700 years. Found exclusively in high-altitude regions of the south-western United States, particularly California, these remarkable pines endure harsh conditions with their slow growth due to cold and arid soils. Their ability to thrive in such challenging environments is a testament to their resilience and adaptability. In this image captured by Science Photo Library, we witness the beauty and grandeur of nature's eldest inhabitants. The towering Bristlecone pines dominate the landscape with their gnarled trunks and twisted branches that have weathered countless seasons over millennia. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the incredible diversity found within our botanical world. These gymnosperms represent a biological marvel that has stood witness to centuries of change and evolution. Let us cherish this glimpse into Earth's ancient past through this stunning portrayal of longevity and endurance.
