The 'Flowers Are Blooming In Antarctica' meme refers to the viral spread of photos showing Deschampsia antarctica and Colobanthus quitensis spreading across the Antarctic Peninsula. On social media, particularly TikTok and X, these images became a symbol of 'doomerism'—the belief that climate change has reached a point of no return. The meme often pairs serene images of small flowers with captions expressing existential dread or the irony of beauty emerging from ecological collapse. It is widely used to highlight environmental anxiety or to mock the perceived end of the world with a mixture of sadness and dark humor.
