List of Mars analogs

[3] A future Mars base has been compared to the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica, because relatively small groups must survive in extreme conditions there.

[4] Mars analogs are sometimes chosen for their location, for example, Devon Island is at 75°N latitude which provides solar radiance similar to the Martian Equator.

The highest point on earth is the summit of Mount Everest at about 5.5 miles (8.8 km, 29 thousand feet), where the pressure is about fifty times greater than on the surface of Mars.

[12] This can be simulated for short time by an aircraft following a flight profile that causes this type of acceleration.

[13] This technique (using a variation on free-fall) has allowed the gait of people in Mars gravity to be studied.
