HMP Update - Field Season Wrap-up August 4, 2004

Another field season has come and gone. By tomorrow all participants will have left Devon Island and our camp will be closed until next year. However experiments are still ongoing in the Arthur Clarke Mars Greenhouse which is sending back data on daily basis by satellite to researchers.

We're not finished reporting from this field season just yet. We have a couple more reports to post and several photo reports will be online in the next week. So check back soon.
