And that white glistening stuff there, that is icelandic cave bacteria. it doesn't need any light to live. it can survive in near—freezing temperature. it just feeds off the iron and the sulphur in the rocks down here, away from everything else. so what we think is that if there are lava tubes on mars, there could be life in there, too. next, daniel is keen to show me another terrestrial analogue a couple of hours' drive from the lava tube, and this one is even more extreme. we're going under the ice to an environment of very different challenges. we think about the lava tube that we visited...

Really know how to problem solve and create the instruments that are going to be able to be operated properly in the field on either the moon or mars. scientists call landscapes which are analogous to other planets �*analogues' and daniel leeb and gunnar gudjonsson are hoping to promote iceland to do this kind of research. so they formed a 2—person operation that they are calling the iceland space agency. iceland has some of the most diverse set of terrestrial analogues in close proximity to one another that exist anywhere on the planet. so you could be on mars, then you could drive down t...

If there are lava tubes on mars, there could be life in there, too. next, daniel is keen to show me another terrestrial analogue a couple of hours�* drive from the lava tube, and this one is even more extreme. we're going under the ice to an environment of very different challenges. we think about the lava tube that we visited earlier — that's a ready—made structure perfect for potential habitat. whereas the analogue we're currently in, here in the ice tunnel, this is a wonderful place to do isolated confined extreme environments to test various challenges that have to do with cold weath...

Mars, titan, lo and other worlds we may one day land on. and that's why over the summer, a group of researchers brought a mock—up spacesuit here to investigate what it might be like to perform extra—terrestrial missions in the future. the suits have a lot of restrictions in terms of how your body can move, what you can actually feel or operate with your fingers. so there are a lot of challenges and restrictions for operating equipment and, as a result, for doing proper field research, so if you're not wearing a suit that is restricting some of those operations, then you don't really know h...

Virtual base camp set up as Iceland Space Agency lends never-before used SAR technology APP February 11, 2021 SKARDU: Despite a halt in the rescue operation owing to bad weather conditions, friends and families of Ali Sadpara and the other missing K2 climbers, vowed on Wednesday to carry on with the search of the "savage mountain" with the help of sophisticated satellite data. Rescue efforts have been on since Pakistan's Ali Sadpara, 45, Iceland's John Snorri, 47, and Chile's Juan Pablo Mohr, 34, went missing on February 5 while attempting to ascent the K2. “For the first time ever, this...
