Washington (CaymanMama.com) — Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, using ground penetration radar discovered many enormous frozen reservoirs of water on Mars. The researchers state that one glacier is three time bigger that the city of Los Angeles.
John Holt, the geophysicist at the University of Texas said about the discovery, “All together, these glaciers almost certainly represent the largest reservoir of water ice on Mars that’s not in the polar caps.”
Water being the main necessity proves existence of extra terrestrial life on the ‘Red Planet’. The news report by AFP states, “The buried glaciers reported by Holt and his 11 co-authors lie in the Hellas Basin region of Mars’ southern hemisphere, and scientist said even larger frozen water reservoirs may exist in Mars’ northern hemisphere.”
While speaking about the presence of water in the frozen form and explaining its presence deep beneath the planets crust Holt said “The fact that these features are in the same latitude bands — about 35 to 60 degrees — in both hemispheres points to a climate-driven mechanism for explaining how they got there.”
The researches while concluding their report on the presence of water in the frozen form explain that deposits of frozen water of Mars are the remnants of the Maritain Ice Age millions of years ago.
