The ecosystem there is full of things not too beneficial for human beings, even despite the astounding similarities with the environment we came from. Going down there can be dangerous even for prepared expeditions, not to mention people with little experience or knowledge. That is, if you're going into the wild. Lucky for us, the Institute established quite a few research posts. They're more or less secure, even if in a bit of disarray after being deserted. So it's not as bad as it might have sounded.
