2013-07-17 - Jeremy Hansen via Twitter on July 17 – At the top of the world! Gained some perspective on Haughton Crater today. Everything you see in this photo is inside the rim of the crater. Have a fantastic team to better understand meteor craters on Earth, Moon and Mars! @CPSXNews

From July 16 to 25, 2013, Canadian Space Agency Astronaut Jeremy Hansen is in the High Arctic to learn methods and techniques for conducting geological fieldwork that could be applied during future missions to the Moon or an asteroid. Hansen is accompanying Western University's Dr. Osinski and his team from the Centre for Planetary Science and Exploration as they study the Haughton impact crater on Devon Island, Nunavut.
