10 locations on another planet-like Earth

The Rio Tinto River, Devon Island, Kilauea volcano, are three of the places on Earth that resemble planets and moons in the solar system.

The Rio Tinto , Spain, is red in color due to its high water soluble iron content and highly acidic river water, according to Mother Nature Network.Although this is a harsh living environment, there are some anaerobic microorganisms that exist.They eat abundant iron and sulfur minerals in the river.Scientists believe that the Rio Tinto River has the same conditions as the liquid water on Mars or Jupiter's moon Europa.Therefore, this river is the ideal place to study space biology.(Photo: Fungur).

Devon Island , Canada, is the largest uninhabited island on Earth.Although the deserted landscape makes it impossible to be an ideal tourist destination in the summer, this is the perfect place for the US Aerospace Agency (NASA) to test the technology of exploration robots for trips. go to Mars.(Photo: NASA).

Kilauea volcano is nearly 1,300 meters high in Hawaii, USA, erupting continuously for 33 years.The landscape of the area looks like Jupiter's moon Io.(Photo: Wikipedia).

Hawaii is best known for its waterfalls and beaches, but it is also home to the harsh, exotic landscape of the world.NASA uses Mauna Kea Mountain and Haleakala, Hawaii, to be a pilot robot test site.In fact, the soil component of Mars is almost identical to the soil in Hawaii.(Photo: Emily Kinney).

The salt lake of Etosha , Namibia, may look like Ontario Lacus, the largest hydrocarbon lake on Saturn's Titan moon.(Photo: Yathin S Krishnappa).

Saturn's moon Europa and Jupiter's moon Enceladus have liquid oceans below the icy crust surface. These moons have seismic and volcanic activity, so their seabed is more likely to be hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor on Earth.(Photo: World Ocean Review).

Teide National Park is located in the Canary Islands, Spain, with the same landscape as the terrain on Mars.In 2010, a research team came here to check the measuring instruments in the European Space Agency's ESO project, ExoMars and the Roscosmos Space Agency, Russia, to search for biological traces on the planet. red.(Photo: Flickr).

The Atacama Desert, Chile, has a rather desolate setting including some salt lakes, sand dunes and volcanic lava flows.These characteristics are quite similar to the terrain on Mars.(Photo: National Geographic).

The dry valley (Dry Valleys) in Antarctica is one of the most inhospitable places in the world, with dry weather conditions, cold and bone-chilling air.The wind blowing through the valley reaches speeds of more than 320 km / h.This feature resembles a cold and dry plain on Mars.(Photo: Cool Antarctica).

Lake Vostok is the largest underground lake beneath the Antarctic ice surface.Its liquid water surface stuck under the ice for at least 15-25 million years.Scientists believe that ancient bacteria that survived in the harsh conditions of Lake Vostok will provide more information to study the forms of life that may appear on Jupiter's moon Europa and the moon Enceladus.
