   FMARS is located on the rim of the Haughton Impact Structure on Tallurutit (Devon Island) in the Canadian high arctic. It's Mars-like qualities range from it's isolation down to its location at an impact crater in an ice-rich, periglacial environment.

   It was really a tremendous place to do some of my PhD research and it would be great to go back again in person someday, but I feel fortunate that I'm able to continue with this work remotely.
