Passage to Mars

Isolated Devon Island is the final destination of the Humvee Okarian, a NASA experimental vehicle that is a critical part of a vast project training man for Mars exploration. Devon is a place NASA calls "Mars-on-Earth": for years, spacesuits and robots have been tested there, and astronauts have been trained for upcoming human voyages to Mars. To learn how to explore the Red Planet, the Passage to Mars crew members first have to face the alien world that is Earth. This bone-chilling Arctic journey - a daily struggle against the unpredictable whims of an often furious nature - will test their persistence and resolve, and force them to confront the aeons-old human dream of exploring the mythical planet Mars.
