Arctic Impact Crater Becomes Mars Test-Bed LINK

The crash meant a quick end to the plants and animals that lived on Devon Island at the time.

The fossil record shows that the site was populated with pine and deciduous trees, giant rabbits and a species of small rhinoceros. This is quite a curiosity in itself, considering that 23 million years ago, the island was already high in the Arctic, and so experienced long seasons of constant sunlight or continuous darkness.

Really?
