cave metagenome

Mauna Loa volcano, on the Island of Hawaii, has numerous young lava tube caves, often considered analogues to caves on Mars. Among these caves, two at high altitude are known to contain ice year-round: Mauna Loa Icecave and Arsia Cave. We have sampled secondary minerals and ice from both caves to explore their geochemical and microbiological characteristics.
