Why is devon island called "Mars on Earth"?

Because there are no plants on the surface of devon island, only sand, rocks and craters are very similar to the surface of Mars, and the climate conditions are also very similar to Mars, so devon island is called Mars on earth. The earth is very large, with countless islands. For scientists, many islands have no research significance, but devon island has successfully attracted the attention of scientists.

Devon island looks very desolate and barren, and there are no traces of plants at all. The topography of the whole island is very rugged, the temperature is often below freezing point, and there will be big storms, which often occur. Devon island has a special geographical position. Because it has been hit by falling stars many times, it looks ruined, which is very similar to the surface of Mars. Devon island is located in the Arctic Circle, so the climate in devon island is cold and dry, with the temperature ranging from minus 50 degrees Celsius to 10 degrees Celsius.

Because of these special terrain, environment and climate, scientists have turned devon island into a research base similar to Mars. Scientists mainly want to investigate whether the environment of Mars is suitable for devon island's biological survival, but the situation in devon island and Mars is very similar, so scientists take devon island as the reference point for research. Perhaps in the future, scientists will study that Mars is suitable for living things, and it is very possible for human beings to immigrate to Mars.

In devon island, volunteers took part in experiments to simulate the environment of the space station. If volunteers can adapt, then I show that Mars is probably suitable for living things. If they can't adapt, scientists need to consider how to optimize the environment of Mars. These experiments are of great significance to mankind. ?
