Biosphere 2: A Unique Scientific Endeavor

Located in Tucson, Arizona, Biosphere 2 is a cutting-edge research facility designed to study Earth's ecosystems in a controlled environment.

Founded in 1991 by a private team, it was initially a prototype for potential self-sustaining space colonies. The facility features six distinct ecosystems: ocean, rainforest, mangrove, savannah, desert, and urban, all contained within a vast glass structure. The facility gained notoriety when eight individuals were sealed inside for two years, experiencing both triumphs and struggles.
