The Martians video series chronicles people in and outside the Mars missions. This episode follows a team of scientists and engineers as they visit the Bockfjorden area of the Norwegian island of Svalbard, at 79 degrees north. The team is at the foot of a volcano called Sverrefjell, which serves as a terrestrial analog for Mars. This site is ideal for testing rovers and instruments being developed for Mars.
