Definition
Living or growing on mountain peaks or at high elevations; thriving in summit environments.
Etymology
From Latin 'culmen' (peak, summit) plus 'colere' (to inhabit), with the suffix -ous; means 'summit-dwelling.'
Kelly Says
Scientists coined 'culmicolous' for plants and animals specially adapted to Alpine peaks—it's a word that captures the harshness of life at the top of mountains.
