Answer:

Archaea

Step-by-step explanation:

The kingdom Archaebacteria includes prokaryotic microbes with some unique features to enable them to survive in most hostile conditions. These microbes are found under the conditions of the extremely high temperature such as that of hot thermal geysers of Iceland.

The Archaebacteria found in these habitats are called thermophilic archaeans as they are able to survive the extremely high temperatures.
