Permafrost comes alive for Siberian researchers
Permafrost comes alive for Siberian researchers One way to prepare yourself for a mission to Mars,
Europa, or any other cosmic body is to study life in some of the

life could exist on Mars or on other planets coated with
permafrost. Indications that ancient permafrost soil may contain
viable life have intrigued many researchers. 1 OCTOBER 1999, P. 36-37
