Mars Lander Transmits Photos of Arctic Terrain
2008-05-26
Honest, that's the NYT headline. And the photo in the background looks like ANWR. But no Martian caribou.
The first pictures sent back by NASA’s Phoenix Mars lander from the northern arctic plains of Mars show a flat terrain marked by a polygonal pattern of shallow troughs and a few pebbles scattered about. “I know it looks a little like a parking lot,”
(just like ANWR)
said Peter H. Smith of the University of Arizona, the missionÂ’s principal investigator.

Phoenix reached its destination after a 422-million-mile journey that lasted almost 10 months.
