Canada arguably possesses the widest and most diverse range of planetary analogue environments on Earth, with sites that simulate many aspects of the surfaces of Mars and icy satellites, all of which are high priority targets for future planetary missions which are focused on assessing habitability and astrobiological potential. Such sites also serve as test beds for instrumentation designed to detect the presence of life in impoverished and extreme environments for both terrestrial and planetary applications. Consequently, these analogue sites attract researchers from a variety of disciplines from across Canada and internationally.

加拿大可以说拥有地球上最广泛和最多样化的行星模拟环境，拥有模拟火星表面许多方面的地点和结冰的卫星，所有这些都是未来行星任务的高度优先目标，重点是评估宜居性和天体生物潜力。这些地点还充当仪器的试验台，旨在探测贫穷和极端环境中生命的存在，用于陆地和行星应用。因此，这些模拟网站吸引了来自加拿大各地和国际上不同学科的研究人员。
