Re: Mars Arctic Research Station, Devon Island

Tom,

Thanks for the post, but it is misleading in giving the impression that the station is an undertaking of the Mars Institute. Our friends at the Mars Institude had no part in setting up the Flashline Mars Arctic Research Station (FMARS), since it didn't exist then, and it has no involvement in its maintenance or operation.

FMARS was established, and is maintained and operated by The Mars Society. Your coordinates are also a little off; 75°25'53.04"N 89°49'23.03"W would be right next to the station.

Following the Google Earth guidelines to avoid crowding the world with placemarks, would you consider editing your post to move your placemark closer to the hab and correct your description?

Cheers,

Jean Lagarde
The Mars Society
