YouTube Video Description

Deep within the Arctic Circle, the G.O. Sars is on a mission that sounds like science fiction. This state-of-the-art, $30,000-a-day research ship is hunting for "impossible" life forms living near toxic mud volcanoes and superheated hydrothermal vents. These "poison-spewing" environments mimic the harsh conditions of Mars, making the G.O. Sars a floating laboratory for astrobiology.
