"Glacial Activity Unveiled: Traces of Ancient Mars' Ice Movement"

Images taken by the NASA Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) show evidence of glacial activity on Mars, suggesting that the planet experienced periods of cooling and warming similar to Earth. The images reveal linear ridges, exposed rocky debris, and infilling inside craters and valleys, indicating the movement of a retreating glacier. These features provide insight into Mars' dynamic climate and its transition from a warmer, wetter environment to the cold and desiccated planet we see today. The preservation of these features offers valuable evidence of Mars' past and its potential for supporting life.
