In the summer of 2022, eight souls departed the United States for what would be a 4-day series of flights to the Canadian Arctic. Their goal was to be the first team to visit the Haughton-Mars Project base on Devon Island, north of the Arctic Circle, since 2019. While the extreme weather and wandering polar bears had not been kind to the station, Pyle, expedition leader Dr. Pascal Lee, and the rest of the team were soon up and running. In their four weeks at the base, they conducted radio astronomy research, rescued a stranded all-terrain vehicle, traversed unexplored territory, tested techniques for surveying Martian geological targets from the air, tested space suit components, and spent a lot of time waiting for fog to lift–polar bears, an ever-present threat (and hungrier than ever due to climate change) are invisible in dense fog.
