The Marines Arrive
This afternoon, a United States Marine Corps C-130 Hercules aircraft flew over the "Fortress", a landmark rock formation near the NASA Haughton-Mars Project Base Camp at Haugthon Crater on Devon Island, Nunavut, Arctic Canada, in preparation for tomorrow's paradropping of field supplies. This is the third year that the USMC is collaborating with the NASA HMP in support of the project's Mars exploration research efforts.
