 Minas de Riotinto, apart of being the place on earth that, show me 
getting born, is "a region that legend claims was part of King 
Solomon's mines, the Rio Tinto looks like deep, red wine, because 
iron is dissolved in the highly acidic river water."
For long time this river has been consider not able to contain life 
due to it´s caustic conditions and lack of oxygen. But recently 
small forms of life such as bacteria has been discovered in it.

 "The Rio Tinto area is an important analog to searching for life in 
liquid water, deep beneath the subsurface of Mars," said Carol 
Stoker.

And I wander by myself, would not be this fact a proof, that life is 
possible under other conditions that the ones we experiment on earth 
at the present moment and that is not atmospheric conditions the 
ones that make life possible, but that life is All and planets and 
the beings that duel on them develop together, the latest developing 
the physical bodys necessary to synthesized the elements available 
on the atmospheric conditions surrounding them.
