The Haughton-Mars Project Research Station exists to demonstrate base-camp operations under conditions as much like those of Mars as possible. Those conditions exist in Canada's High Arctic, on Devon Island within a land called Nunavut (Northwest Territory). The station maintains five cameras. These cameras make use of new PlanetNet wireless technology. They were activated on 31 May along with other automated equipment. The core of the 2010 team arrived on 16 May after a 13-day drive on the ice of the Northwest Passage. Activities for the 2010 season begin on 1 July and end in the first week of August.

NOAA/PMEL's North Pole Web camera deployments began in April 2002. The Web cams operate during the summer (April - October) and are redeployed each Spring. The images track the North Pole snow cover, weather conditions and the status of PMEL's North Pole instrumentation, which includes meteorological and ice sensors. Images and data are relayed by the Iridium satellite system. The instruments typically contine to transmit data for months after the solar-powered Web cams stop. |
