Trochaclis islandica is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Trochaclididae.

Trochaclis islandica is adjustable to life in cold waters, and is capable of tolerating extreme temperatures and saltiness.

It is also able to survive periods of low food availability by reducing its metabolic rate and storing energy reserves in its body.

When they are eaten by larger animals, this carbon is transferred up the food chain and eventually cloistered in the deep ocean, where it can remain for centuries.

This marine species occurs from Greenland to Norway and in the western part of the Mediterranean Sea.
