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，其站点模拟了火星表面和冰冷卫星的许多方面，所有这些都是未来行星任务的高优先级目标，这些任务的重点是评估可居住性和天体生物学潜力。这些地点还可以作为仪器的试验台，用于在地球和行星上的贫瘠和极端环境中探测生命的存在。因此，这些模拟站点吸引了来自加拿大和国际上各种学科的研究人员。
