    Actually, there are aquatic parasites, especially in
    and around the Amazon (and thus possibly also near the
    surface in the nearby ocean) that lodge in, ah, very
    thin spaces. Like the tract that sperm come out. Of
    course, this particular parasite only causes effective
    sterility in males. ^_-

    What's out there? Deserts and arctic areas aren't
    more widely known for their resources than other land
    areas.

    That said, practice for the sake of practice has been
    done. Check, for instance, the Mars Society's work on
    Devon Island.
