Science: Vast Subsurface Martian Ice Discovered

Dear Santa,

I want to go on vacation to...


Science: Vast Subsurface Martian Ice Discovered: "The Fun Guy writes to tell us New Scientist is reporting that deep-scan radar results from ESA's Mars Express spacecraft have revealed vast amounts of subsurface ice. From the article: 'Intriguingly, the signal reflected from the bottom of the crater is so strong and appears so flat that it may be liquid water. 'If you put water there, that's what the signal might look like,' Johnson told New Scientist. But he cautions the data is based on only one pass over the region and could be caused by another material.'"
