Firebox Red Planet Rum - Ginger & Blood Orange Flavour

Product Information

The Martian, adapted from Andy Weir's popular novel, tells the fictional story of NASA astronautMark Watney (Matt Damon), who is presumed dead and marooned on Mars when his crew must abandon their mission during a surprise storm. Watney must use his ingenuity to survive alone on the red planet and find a way to communicate with Earth so he may return home. The film is latest great science fiction epic from director Ridley Scott ( Alien, Blade Runner). It is nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Actor (Damon). Any ancient riverbeds of Mars would be long gone, but water may have persisted in other forms into the modern day. The thin atmosphere would mean evaporated liquid water would soon be lost to space, but water could persist if the cold allowed it to freeze solid, or if it was protected underground. Like Earth, the poles of Mars are the coldest regions on the planet. Unlike Earth, temperatures on Mars can plummet to minus 195 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 125 degrees C), according to Space.com.

The Red Planet has been a target for investigations over many centuries. No planet has been so heavily explored, other than our own, according to NASA. The obvious place of choice on Mars is the subsurface, if one is at all interested in liquid water,” Meyer said. “In theory, deep down, Mars is warm enough to keep water liquid, and water will naturally flow down there and collect.” The entrance fees for the attractions will not be covered. On a 3D/2N tour, the cost will be Bs180 in total (Bs150 for the Eduardo Avaroa National Park, and Bs30 for the Isla del Pescado). For the full day tour, the additional fees will be Bs30. Also, if you would like a hot shower on the first night, there will be an additional cost of approx. Bs15. Make sure you bring small change for bathrooms along the way. It is fine to visit the area when there is a certain amount of water, but when it becomes too deep (after long, sustained periods of rainfall in consecutive days) some places can become inaccessible, such as Isla Incahuasi. These must then be omitted from the tours, but we can usually continue visiting other parts of the salt flats. Also, the area to the south (with the coloured lakes, geysers, hot springs etc) is usually not affected, so tours are not cancelled completely. Later that day, the last stop will be at the amazing Red Lagoon to see some pink flamingos, and the redness of the water from the viewpoint. Afterwards, the car will take you to the top of a big volcano called Sol de Mañana. Upon entering the crater, you will see the fumaroles and boiling mud pots (volcanic activity, 100 Cº).

Although our assets in orbit around Mars haven’t found any subterranean aquifers, there’s a sneaking suspicion we’re only seeing the upper kilometer or so, because radar’s a challenge,” Meyer said. Following this, you will go straight to the salt-made hotel (the only hotel allowed on the salt flats). Here, you’ll have time to explore the various rooms, salt sculptures, and the hotel’s lobby (Playa Blanca), as well as take photos! At this very hotel, you’ll enjoy a delicious lunch.

You need to inform us 24 hours before your tour date and inform to the guide at the beginning of your tour. We had a rather unique itinerary. If you'd like to follow in our footsteps, drop us a line at [email protected], you can't. Unfortunately, we do not offer the option to upgrade accommodation because this would involve separating groups to different areas, and it is considered as a private tour by the tour operators. The difference between the two cores may explain why Earth became a thriving oasis of life and Mars became a barren rusty wasteland, the scientists speculate.

In Bethany, you will also find Tell el-Kharrar. According to the Bible, the prophet Elijah rose to heaven in a whirlwind from this hill, a grand show including chariots and horses of fire. On the edge of the Jordan Valley, you find Mount Nebo, the mountain where Moses showed the Israelites the promised land before he died. The capital Amman is called Ammon in the Scriptures, the capital of the kingdom of the Ammonites. On a mountain in this city, you will still find a proud citadel, which is said to have been built by King David.

Afterwards, you will go to the tiny village of Colchani (salt miners' workshops next to the Salt Flats) to visit the factories and see the traditional means of table salt production. You will then be taken to the great Salt Flat of Uyuni (Salar de Uyuni), where you first will see the salt mining, and the piles of salt (pyramids of salt). After this, you will go to see the Eyes of the Salt. These are big holes in the salt flat, from which bursts out water at high pressure (this water comes from beneath this dead lake). The sorrel flower, of the hibiscus family, lends this classic punch its color and tartness, a pleasant counterpoint to the sweetness from the sugar. The drink is popular at cookouts and restaurants but also is a mainstay at holidays like Juneteenth and Christmas. There are several types of hydrated minerals on Mars from clays and carbonates to a great diversity of sulfates and chlorides, Fairen said. A version of this story was originally published in Dutch in National Geographic Traveler in the Netherlands. For decades, abundant research has suggested that rivers, lakes and seas once covered Mars billions of years ago. For example, in 2015, maps of water in the martian atmosphere suggested that Mars might once have had enough water to cover up to a fifth of the planet. In addition, in a different 2015 study, researchers noted that the shape of some martian pebbles suggests they once rolled dozens of miles down a river, hinting that ancient martian waterways were stable and not merely fleeting streams.
