The Planetary Lake Lander project (PLL) is funded by the NASA (ASTEP) Program. It deploys an adaptive robotic lake lander in the Central Andes of Chile where ice is melting at an accelerated rate. Deglaciation subjects lakes to interannual variability and impacts metabolic activity and biogeochemical cycles, lake habitat, ecosystem, and biodiversity. Documenting the deglaciation process contributes to a better understanding of the changes affecting Earth's glacial lake ecosystems here and now, and may shed light on how life adapted during past deglaciations. From an astrobiological perspective, it brings new insights into the evolution of Mars habitability during comparable geological periods, and into its remote and in situ signatures. Further, the robotic exploration of lakes confronts us with challenges analogous to those faced by future planetary missions to Titan's lakes and seas.
