Last year we went to the Biosphere 2 I did a short piece on this back in 2007 but i wasn't really blogging yet and really didn't know how to add photos all that much so didn't get but a few photos on, but i did want to share this again. Click here to find out more about the beginning of the tour.
Two missions, between 1991 and 1994, sealed Biospherians inside the glass enclosure to measure survivability.
This was there kitchen area
This is one of the labs
If you click on this next photo you may be able to read part of what there life was like
Part of the rain forest
If you ever get to Arizona stop and check it out, they are now doing some other research there.

great photos of this place! have a nice weekend!
What a fastenating place, it could just be that is what earth buildings might all be like in time. vast areas undercover and regulated airflow. Globle warming and pollution (man) WILL one day kill the planet, just maybe this is a look at the future.
Very interesting Post... enjoyed my visit here very much and left me wanting to read up more on these places.
This is so fascinating! I would love to live in one. Do they accept foreigners? hehe...
Wow, this is very interesting. Great post.
Too bad it didn't work out like they thought it would..oh well. Great pictures though!
I seem to remember John Denver doing something similar a long time ago at Windstar. This is very interesting, Lilli.
I think I read about that somewhere in the past. Interesting photos!

I used to live in Scottsdale/Phoenix and had the chance to go the Biosphere! VERY COOL!
Regarding the charcoal
It helps stomach issues, I bought it at Whole Foods, here is a link of what it is Activated Charcoal
My mom used to give it to me as a child for diahrea!

Wonderful photos and so interesting to see. I had to study this in one of my biology classes. Thanks for the post!
Wow what a complex. That is sure a neat place…
Rain forest and all WOW
DId you attend any lectures while you were there?
Very interesting Lilli, we have a research centre here known as Biopolis and seems like they are all very fascinating.
Very interesting post! You took some great pictures of the place. I'd like to visit it myself!

Really interesting and innovative place :-) Thanks for sharing about the place!
That's amazing! It would be fun to visit that one someday.

Lilli,
I'm back to invite you to participate in this meme:
Writing in Faith: Thoughts
This is very interesting. My husband would love to learn about this as he is a science buff.
I didn't know those really existed. I remember seeing a movie that made fun of them though. It was a stupid Pauly Shore movie.
What an interesting place! I'd like to know what types of things were learned from the experiement. Facinating!
wow!it's an interesting place and I love the architecture!
beautiful photos, thanks for sharing, it enables us to see interesting places we have not been to, but at least in pictures though.
I hope they are out by now... :-)
Re you comment - Anyone is of course welcome to make comments or post a bridge on their site (with a link)!
I would love to visit that too! So interesting.
Hmmm...and esp if I could work in those kitchen in the biosphere. How great!
Seems to me this is a most fascinating place to visit. Since I'm on the other side of the ocean, your post was marvellous. Allowed me to have a general picture of the whole set.
I love that place! So modern and Sci-fi LOL! Can't wait to go inside. Happy WS! And thanks for doing the tag I really appreciate it.
Very interesting!!
Very interesting experiment and photos too. Hope they are all able to go out already. Thanks for the visit.
Interesting pictures. Great post
Amazing pictures! I'm glad someone was willing to do that. I'm not so sure I would have been willing.
I'm fascinated with the Biosphere research. I think it's a great project that aims to protect mankind in case something terrible happens to the world.
Thanks for visiting both my blogs. I appreciate it.
this is an awesome post.. i really need to see more of the world. u helped me to see a little more today. thanks
This is very interesting. Fascinating place. Great post.
Have a nice day :)
