According to scientists, very large ice deposits have been found on Mars, below the surface and far away from the polar ice caps.

The Sharad (SHAllow RADar) can look up to 1 km below the surface to find water, by sending pulse waves and analyzing the time delay when they return and their strength.

The Sharad radar experiment, on Nasa’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) spacecraft made the discovery in Mars’ mid-northern latitudes.

The ice is found in distinctive geological structures on Mars’ surface that are hundreds of metres thick.

The radar data suggest that some of these features consist mostly of ice.
