Study Mars in Iceland 

You have all enjoyed the fire fountains in Iceland - see the PREVIOUS POST, but now for some serious geology - or rather geology of Mars!

A correspondent brought THIS ARTICLE to my attention. It uses the current Icelandic eruption as an illustration of what happened on Mars in the distant past. (Although some of the people quoted rather hope for a new Martian eruption!)

The video in the article is well worth looking at with some beautiful imagery from Mars - and some good stuff from Iceland! A smaller version of the video is embedded below.

There is ice and lava in Iceland and where the two meet microbes are found. There is ice and there was lava on Mars - are there microbes to be found? Read the article and view the video and join in the speculation!
