Devon Island

Dear fellow allplanets-hollow email list members,

This is post is a little off-topic, but interesting for obvious
reasons......

This article is on the MIT website:

At 75 degrees north latitude, Devon Island lies high above the
Arctic Circle, a few hundred miles from the magnetic North Pole. A
true polar desert, it is also the largest uninhabited island on
Earth. But the reach of MIT extends even here.

This past summer, a research team from MIT's Department of
Aeronautics and Astronautics established a semi-permanent shelter at
the NASA Haughton-Mars Base. The principal investigators for the
project are Professors Olivier de Weck and David Simchi-Levi.

"Haughton-Mars Base provides an excellent analogy to lunar and Mars
exploration," said de Weck. "This is primarily due to its
remoteness, the time-varying nature of the transportation links and
its thin supply line." The MIT team also included former NASA
astronaut and MIT Professor Jeffrey Hoffman and seven students.
...the team went to Devon Island because the existing base
infrastructure, combined with the remote and barren location, makes
it ideal for studying logistics strategies that could be used in
planning exploration strategies to the moon and Mars.

When I saw this, I was thinking, "These people most likely know
about the Hollow Earth theory. There they are near the top of the
planet. This could be basically anybody that goes to college at MIT,
and yet the research they do there is not going to say anything
about the Hollow Earth theory. Frustrating, isn't it?"

Sincerely, Doug
