Scientists participate in a demonstration of an experiment led by Austrian and Israeli agencies simulating a mission to Mars near Mitzpe Ramon, Israel on October 10, 2021. Here, in the Ramon Crater in the desert of southern Israel, a team of six – five men and one woman – have begun simulating what it will be like to live for about a month on the red planet. Their AMADEE-20 habitat is tucked beneath a rocky outcrop. Inside they sleep, eat and conduct experiments. Outside they wear mock space suits fitted with cameras, microphones and self-contained breathing systems. (Photo by Amir Cohen/Reuters)

A hiker visits patterns formed by crystalized minerals in the Israeli Kibbutz Ein Gedi area at the shore of the southern part of the Dead Sea, a dried-up sea stretch which exposed and created a salt plain, on December 26, 2020. A spectacular expanse of water in the desert, flanked by cliffs to east and west, the Dead Sea has lost a third of its surface area since 1960. The blue water recedes about a metre (yard) every year, leaving behind a lunar landscape whitened by salt and perforated with gaping holes. (Photo by Menahem Kahana/AFP Photo)
