Our Alien Earth: Lava Tubes of Mauna Loa, Hawai’i | NASA


🌋 Could lava tubes hide signs of life on Mars? 

To find out, NASA researchers went deep beneath Hawai‘i’s volcanoes to study Earth’s own lava tubes—extreme places where life survives.

Delve deep beneath the volcanoes of Hawai’i with four teams of NASA astrobiologists as they investigate how life might survive in the subsurface of other worlds. Inside cavernous lava tubes, these scientists search for microbial life in volcanic rock, analyze subsurface gases, and build an augmented reality model of the field site – all to help advance NASA’s future exploration of Mars and beyond.
