Brian Roemmele(@BrianRoemmele):Mars On Earth The Driest Desert on Earth Is in Antarctica — The McMurdo Dry Valleys are the largest ice-free region of Antarctica: no rain for nearly 2 million years, winds up to 200 mph, soils so sterile that some areas contain no detectable microbial life — the closest place on Earth to Mars. NASA tests Martian landers there because it's more alien than most of the planet.
