The International Mars Ice Mapper Mission (I-MIM) is a proposed Mars orbiter being developed by NASA, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), and the Italian Space Agency (ASI). [3] As the mission concept evolves, there may be opportunities for other space agency and commercial partners to join the mission. [1]
Sublimation is the direct change of solid ice to a gas. This is similar to what happens to dry ice on the Earth. Places on Mars that display polygonal ground may indicate where future colonists can find water ice. Patterned ground forms in a mantle layer, called latitude dependent mantle, that fell from the sky when the climate was different.
Geysers on Mars – Putative CO2 gas and dust eruptions on Mars; Glacier – Persistent body of ice that moves downhill under its own weight; Glaciers on Mars – Extraterrestrial bodies of ice; Groundwater on Mars – Water held in permeable ground; Ismenius Lacus quadrangle – Map of Mars; Lineated valley fill – Martian geologic feature
Mars, a world that once gushed with water, is today 1,000 times drier than Earth's driest desert. Yet some ice still flows, slowly, on the Martian ground.NASA's Mars-orbiting satellite, the Mars ...
Scientists have announced the discovery of structures like layering and potential impact craters which had been hidden under Mars’ polar ice caps. New 3-D map of Mars' ice caps reveal hidden ...

[32] [33] Ice was found both in the southern hemisphere [34] and in the northern hemisphere. [35] Researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute combined radar observations with ice flow modelling to say that ice in all of the Martian glaciers is equivalent to what could cover the entire surface of Mars with 1.1 meters of ice.
Korolev is an ice-filled impact crater in the Mare Boreum quadrangle of Mars, located at 73° north latitude and 165° east longitude.It is 81.4 kilometres (50.6 mi) in diameter [1] and contains about 2,200 cubic kilometres (530 cu mi) of water ice, comparable in volume to Great Bear Lake in northern Canada.
