Prepare yourself for an adventure! Before man makes it to Mars, he must conquer the Arctic.

'Passage to Mars' is the incredible true story of six men, led by Dr. Pascal Lee, who embark on a treacherous 2,000-mile journey across the forbidding ice of the Northwest Passage - an alien voyage on planet Earth designed to prepare NASA astronauts for an eventual mission to Mars. SMCAS will be showing a special presentation of of the documentary of the adventure: 'Passage to Mars'. As James Cameron describes it, it 'captures the truth of exploration - the will to survive against the odds. Gripping!' Dr. Pascal Lee, Senior Planetary Scientist at the SETI Institute, will be on hand to introduce the video, set it in context, and answer questions at the end.
