Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. As one of the researchers involved in the study pointed out, liquid water hidden under the ice is hardly unheard of, as such lakes “actually exist beneath glaciers in Arctic and Antarctic regions”. New research suggests that salty liquid water likely exists beneath the ice located at Mars’ South Pole despite the low temperatures there.
According to SciTechDaily, Dr David Stillman – a geophysicist from the Southwest Research Institute and co-author of the new study conducted by an “Italian-led team” – pointed out that “lakes of liquid water actually exist beneath glaciers in Arctic and Antarctic regions”.
The laboratory measurements conducted by Stillman reportedly support the “oddly bright reflections” picked up by the Mars Express orbiter’s MARSIS subsurface sounding radar.
