Martian glaciers are mostly pure ice across the Red Planet, suggesting they might potentially be useful resources for any ...

Recent research unveils that Martian glaciers are surprisingly pure, composed of over 80% water ice, challenging previous ...

Water ice can be turned to liquid water and leveraged to generate oxygen and hydrogen, which have myriad potential uses.

New study reveals Martian glaciers are mostly pure water ice, a vital resource for future human missions for water, oxygen, ...

Scientists have long been intrigued by the glaciers on Mars, once believed to be primarily composed of rocky rubble with just a small amount of ice. However, new findings are challenging this view, ...

Some glaciers on Mars might have had an assist from below. The research team hypothesized that to push the glaciers any faster, there would have had to be enough stress to make up for weaker gravity.

Mars rover Curiosity: Images from the red planet 51 photos The researchers took advantage of a project last year by University of Texas researchers that mapped the glaciers on the Red Planet.

Because of Mars’ unique conditions, its ancient glaciers likely flowed very slowly, according to a new study in the Geophysical Research Letters. NASA/JPL-Caltech/UofA According to the USGS ...

Mars may have experienced up to 20 ice ages in the past 300 to 800 million years, according to the results of a new study. Glaciers formed during the cooling periods represent fascinating targets ...

The ice in the glaciers is equivalent to over 150 billion cubic meters [36 cubic miles] of ice — that much ice could cover the entire surface of Mars with 1.1 meters [3.6 feet] of ice.

The surface of Mars is known for being an extremely cold, desiccated, and irradiated place. But as its many surface features attest, the red planet was once a warmer, wetter place with flowing ...

The glaciers are located in belts around Mars between the latitudes 300-500 -- equivalent to just south of Denmark's location on Earth. The glaiciers are found on both the northern and southern ...
