Much more liquid water may lie beneath Mars' south pole than scientists had thought — or there may be something going on down there that they don't fully understand.

In fact, it's carbon dioxide ice, and at Mars' south pole, there's 26-foot-thick (8-meter-thick) layer of it year-round.

Mars' south pole gets its bright look from an ice cap made up mainly of carbon dioxide. According to NASA, carbon dioxide freezes at -193 degrees Fahrenheit (-125 degrees Celsius).

The debate is reignited this week with new evidence from NASA’s Mars Global Surveyor satellite that supports the liquid water hypothesis. The radar signals from the 2018 study pointed to a 12 ...
