Widespread exposures of extensive clean shallow ice in the midlatitudes of Mars

CM Dundas, MT Mellon, SJ Conway… - Journal of …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Although ice in the Martian midlatitudes is typically covered by a layer of dust or regolith, it is
exposed in some locations by fresh impact craters or in erosional scarps. In both cases, the …
