Mars’ polar ice cap is slowly pushing its north pole inward That, plus data from the InSight lander, gives us a new view into Mars' interior. John Timmer – Feb 28, 2025 4:47 pm ...

Like Earth, Mars spins at a tilt of about 25 degrees, so it experiences seasons, but Mars' much longer path around the sun is also more oblong—or what scientists call eccentric—than Earth's.

An early version of the north polar 3-D volume helped to assess the quantity of water ice transferred to the polar caps in the most recent retreat from a Martian ice age.

Like Earth, Mars has frozen polar caps, but unlike Earth, these caps are made of carbon dioxide ice as well as water ice. During the southern hemisphere’s summer, much of the ice cap sublimates ...

The team concluded that the Martian northern polar cap is quite young, and it's depressing the ground underneath. "We show that the ice sheet pushes the underlying ground into the mantle at a rate ...

Scientists studying Mars, using the MARSIS instrument data, have previously reported a regionally strong radar reflection under Mars’ south polar ice sheet and have interpreted these bright radar ...

Today, a team of Italian scientists announced evidence that Mars has lakes of liquid water under its polar ice caps. While the evidence is a bit indirect and requires a number of assumptions, the ...

New evidence for liquid water beneath the south polar ice cap of Mars Date: September 29, 2022 Source: University of Cambridge Summary: An international team of researchers has revealed new ...

If you've ever looked at Mars through a telescope, you probably noticed its two polar ice caps. The northern one is made largely of water ice—the most obvious sign that Mars was once a wetter ...

Scientists using radar data from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) have found a record of the most recent Martian ice age recorded in the planet’s north polar ice cap.
