Are there really polar lakes on Mars, under the ice? Two new studies, one pro and one con, add to

The planet Mars has always been known as a bone-dry world, incapable of possessing liquid water on its surface. This is primarily due to the lack of atmosp | Space

ESAs Mars Express satellite has observed the Jovis Tholus shield volcano on the Martian surface along with a large nearby crater.

Data from NASAs Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter reveals water flowed on Mars as recently as 2 billion to 2.5 billion years ago, say researchers at Caltech, Pasadena, California.

Is there a lake under the South Pole on Mars? This has been debated since scientists first detected what they thought was a lake about a mile underneath the Martian south pole back in 2018, but the debates and theories have continued on to this day. In 2020, it was reported that three additional salty... Read more »

Sadly, it appears that the briny 'lake' we thought we'd found at Mars' south pole is just a giant hunk of volcanic rock.

So, is there liquid water in a subglacial lake under the south polar cap of Mars or not? Given the brutally cold sub-freezing temperatures on Mars, especially at the south pole, you'd think the answer would obviously be no. But it's not at all that clear, and two papers came out this week arguing on opposite sides of the idea. Seriously. This was a press release headline on Monday: "Hope for Present-Day Martian Groundwater Dries Up."

The likelihood of lakes of liquid water hidden under Mars southern polar ice cap is receding before our very eyes.
