Water reservoir discovered on Mars is over two miles deep

The Medusae Fossae Formation of Mars has ice deposits over 2 miles deep, potentially providing vital water resources for exploration.

I have the feeling that I repeat this leitmotiv a lot in the section of Planet B, but I think that there are things that it is important to highlight in case anyone has not read the previous articles that we wrote on this topic: the search for water on Mars has been the central theme in the design of the different space missions for decades.

Scientists Found a Massive Water Reservoir on Mars—And It Could Drown the Entire Planet

A massive underground stash of water has just been discovered beneath one of Mars’s most enigmatic regions—the Medusae Fossae Formation—shedding new light on the Red Planet’s hidden potential. Buried nearly two miles below the surface, this ice-rich deposit may be the largest non-polar water reservoir ever detected on Mars. The findings, published in Geophysical Research Letters, could transform how scientists approach the search for past habita…
