The MRO radar spots what is apparently glacial ice on Mars at the mid-latitudes. The site doesn’t give the timeline for the radar survey, I’d like to know if the ice persists during the Martian summer, since they call it glacial I can only assume it does. Yeah, I know where assuming gets me. Pretty interesting none-the-less.
From the MRO site:
A radar on NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has detected widespread deposits of glacial ice in the mid-latitudes of Mars.
This map of a region known as Deuteronilus Mensae, in the northern hemisphere, shows locations of the detected ice deposits in blue. The yellow lines indicate ground tracks of the radar observations from multiple orbits of the spacecraft.
The ice, up to 1 kilometer (0.6 mile) ...
