Glacier Discoveries on Mars Hint at Buried Water Ice
A "relict glacier" has been discovered on Mars, suggesting that surface water ice may still exist on the planet. The discovery was made near Mars' equator, which could have significant implications for future human exploration. The glacier is believed to be relatively young geologically speaking, and its imprint was preserved by sulfate salts. While more research is needed to determine if and how much ice may be preserved under the salts, the discovery could change our understanding of how Mars can sustain human life.
