On the coast of the frigid Arctic Ocean in Canada's Northwest Territories, a surreal site has been smoldering for thousands of years.

Known as the Smoking Hills, these shale rock formations are embedded with sulfur-bearing minerals that, when exposed to air, release plumes of sulfur dioxide gas into the air. Surprisingly, the fiery phenomenon exists on one of the few North American peninsulas that extends far enough north to cross the 70th parallel. Scientists are interested in the Smoking Hills' rocky, red coast as an analog site for another famously red surface: Mars. Similar sulphate minerals have been detected on the red planet and are very rare on Earth. The strange shore could help expand our understanding of Martian geology — and even potential habitability.
