Immense ice deposits found at south pole of Mars

This map shows the topography of the south polar region of Mars, including topography buried by thick deposits of icy material. The map is a combination of subsurface elevation data acquired by the Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionospheric Sounding (MARSIS) aboard the European Space AgencyÂs Mars Express orbiter and surface elevation data acquired by the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter aboard NASAÂs Mars Global Surveyor orbiter. Image released to Reuters by the European Space Agency on March 15, 2007. (ESA/Handout/Reuters)
