I wonder why they chose Svalbard? Admittedly it is the part of the Arctic that it is simplest and cheapest to get to (but definitely not the safest part since it has a very high density of polar bears). However it has a very maritime arctic climate. I would have thought that a dry arctic environment (e. g. northeastern Greenland, Wrangel's land or the Parry archipelago) would be much more relevant for Martian research.
