For a long time scientists said that to examine the surface of Mars due to the dust layer is difficult. However, more recently, on the red planet with satellites were found glaciers.
Now between scientists are active discussions about what are these glaciers.
Maybe it’s the accumulation of dirt from dust, but it can also be frozen water or carbon dioxide. Scientists claim that the ice on Mars is covered an area of more than 150 cubic meters and it may occupy the entire surface. If you distribute the ice evenly, he would have a thickness of more than 1 meter. Because discovered on Mars glaciers are of great hydrological importance.
Scientists from Copenhagen believe that glaciers are the main resource of the planet. A thick layer of dust is a protective layer, as in the case of the glaciers does not evaporate for a long time.
