What makes the lake particularly interesting to scientists however is the way it parallels certain conditions found on Mars.

"Analysis of water from Spotted Lake reveals that organisms are indeed living in the pools," said researchers working with Discovery's Science Channel. "It's like Mars has come to Earth."
