Even if you don’t see it, you must slow down to avoid disaster! Plan on your drive taking twice as long as it normally does! Also make sure to cooperate with any plows, emergency vehicles or police officers who are trying to help! Be safe!

Definitely off the "beaten path," in a spruce bog in Northern Minnesota, this site boasts an incredible array of scientific equipment that is supported by an amazing technological infrastructure! There are control sites and some of the chambers have added heat, carbon dioxide, or both. A lot of equipment and experimental testing goes on 24/7, 365 days per year. These guys know their stuff. The 10 chambers are connected ...
