Now, there is even a Mars Society whose members have recreated Martian conditions on Earth. Devon Island (3)………… in the Canadian Arctic, a vast area which (4) ……… mountains, cliffs and canyons like those on Mars. There is even a massive crater. Scientists are (5) …………..advantage of these similar conditions to (6) …………………whether it would be possible for human beings to live on Mars. On Devon Island, the volunteers are getting used (7) ………space suits all the time. They have to withstand the extreme temperatures that are also found on Mars. In fact, Mars is not so different from our own planet as most people (8)…………. . There are four distinct seasons and the sun rises and (9)…………….. to create days and nights similar in length to ours. In the past, there must have been life on Mars; scientists have discovered river beds where water (10) ……..and evidence that living organisms once existed there.
