The Haughton impact crater site on Devon Island, High Arctic, is
one of the most Mars-like places on Earth. Since 1997, the
Haughton-Mars Project (HMP) has been conducting science and
exploration research at the site, and established the HMP
Research Station, now the largest privately operated polar
research station in the world. Geology and astrobiology
investigations have led to the formulation of the “Mars, Always
Cold, Sometimes Wet” Model. Dr. Lee will describe how Haughton
is being used to conduct exploration investigations which are
helping pave the way towards the first human mission to Mars.
