The team concluded that the Martian northern polar cap is quite young, and it's depressing the ground underneath. "We show that the ice sheet pushes the underlying ground into the mantle at a rate ...

Researchers believe that Mars might be home to ice deposits outside of its poles that surpass the volume contained in the ...

Mars may be hiding a vast stash of water beneath the Medusae Fossae Formation (MFF) near its equator. This ice-rich deposit ...

Multiple plans exist to explore Mars in the coming decades using robotic and crewed missions. The ultimate goal of these ...

“Excitingly, the radar signals match what we’d expect from layered ice, similar to Mars’ known polar ice caps.” Ice, not dust: Modeling reveals what lies below The radar reflections show strong, wide ...

Scientists discovered a massive ice sheet under Mars's Medusae Fossae, enough to cover the planet in water. This find could reshape Mars exploration, colonization, and climate theories.

Like Earth, Mars has polar ice caps, volcanoes, canyons and deserts. This image was stitched together from a series of photos from the Viking Orbiter — one of the communications relay stations ...

Except for the scraps frozen into the polar caps, its water was lost to space or stored away as subsurface ice. And this all happened billions of years ago. The early Mars had been dynamic ...

This ice cap is bigger than Texas ... Billions of years ago, Mars was warmer, and covered with liquid water, which likely carved out valleys like this one. Mawrth Vallis Mawrth Vallis is another ...

There is plenty of water on Mars, but most of it is frozen in the polar ice caps and buried underground. Despite the chilly temperatures, there could be liquid water underneath the surface ice in ...
