Scientists and astronauts are currently exploring a unique lake in British Columbia, Canada. Pavilion Lake is unique because of strange structures known as microbialites that are found deep below its waters. The lake contains a greater morphological diversity of microbialites than any other modern environment known on Earth. Astrobiology Magazine’s field research editor Henry Bortman reports on the ongoing effort to classify these bizarre structures.
