Inhabited subsurface wet smectites in the hyperarid core of the Atacama Desert as an analog for the search for life on Mars
The modern Martian surface is unlikely to be habitable due to its extreme aridity among
other environmental factors. This is the reason why the hyperarid core of the Atacama Desert …
