It’s been a privilege working with @NASAGoddard planetary scientist @mikethorpe_geo . Photo is from the @NASA/@esa MSR joint science team expedition to Iceland to inform #MarsSampleReturn. Click link below to read a great Intvw w/ Dr. Thorpe, photo by ISA Mission Dir Dan_leeb
Learn how Dr. Michael Thorpe turned a passion for hiking and environmental science into a career that advances our understanding of Earth and takes NASA’s exploration of Mars to new heights.

#Eclipse2024 captured by Gunnar Guðjonsson at his home observatory In Mosfellsbær, Iceland 19:39gmt at it’s peak of 46.7 % coverage on Apríl 8th 2024. Next total eclipse is on Aug 12 ‘26, Iceland will be on the path of totality & 1 of the best places to experience it,#eclipse2026 – at Iceland
It was a most esteemed honor working w/ the @NASA @esa Mars Sample Return joint science team to collect 450kg of Icelandic “regolith” that will inform future technologies & processes that will be used on the martian samples once they arrive to Earth In the next decade ! – at Iceland
Iceland and Mars are closer than one might think 🇮🇸🤗🔴
⛏️ A team of geologists went hunting at the foot of a volcano 🌋 for martian-like soil, similar to some samples collected by the @NASAPersevere rover on the Red Planet.
