Well, at least it would be a lake if Mars was a wee bit warmer and had an atmosphere to protect the water from being whisked away into space. It’s a massive chunk of ice that measures 50 miles ...

An Italian team of scientists says it has strong evidence of a subsurface lake of liquid water on Mars. It's a discovery ... a surface layer made up of water ice and dust. There are hundreds ...

Fresh intel from Mars is sure to stir debate about whether liquid water lurks beneath the planet’s polar ice. If it exists, the central lake spans roughly 600 square kilometers. To keep from ...

A Mars orbiter has detected a wide lake of liquid water hidden below the planet’s southern ice sheets. There have been much-debated hints of tiny, ephemeral amounts of water on Mars before.

Frozen beneath a region of cracked and pitted plains on Mars lies about as much water as what's in Lake Superior ... that's 50 to 85 percent water ice, mixed with dust or larger rocky particles.

It's tempting to think of this feature as a lake, given that the area with ... excited about drilling 1.5km into the poles of Mars to look for ice, however, we'll probably want independent ...

The Mars that was and the Mars that is are ... that in the south Martian pole at least, there may be a lake buried beneath the ice. It could measure as much as 30 km (18 mi.) ...

There's water on Mars. For the first time, scientists have detected a lake of salty water under the Martian ice, a study released Wednesday said. The lake is about a mile under the surface and ...

The underground dry ice deposit, roughly the size of Lake Superior, was discovered using ground-piercing radar aboard the NASA Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter designed to probe below the crust.

Compacted layers of ice might be mimicking the radar echo of subterranean liquid water. Doubt has been cast on the possibility of a lake of liquid water buried beneath Mars' southern ice cap by ...

Their simulations show that small variations in layers of water ice -- too subtle ... a subglacial lake on Earth, Lalich said, the temperature and pressure conditions on Mars are very different.

Eventually, Mars grew too cold for even this meltwater process to take place. There was recently a claim of a subsurface lake still existing beneath the south polar ice cap on Mars today ...
