Haughton Mars Project (HMP) is an international research project carried out near the Haughton impact crater on Canada's northern Devon Island. The project's goal is to utilize the Mars-like features of Devon Island to study the human dynamics which result from extended contact in close quarters. I propose an extension to this project to build large EcoSpheres. An EcoSphere, is a sealed glass aquarium in which a self-sustaining ecosystem exists which by definition means energy is free to leave and enter but matter must remain confined within. Basic EcoSpheres do not accommodate humans but the large one should be optimized for humans as well. One step closer to colonizing the other planets.
