Mid-Latitude Glaciers on Mars
New high-resolution images of Mars have revealed several glaciers in the planet’s mid-latitudes, far away from its polar ice caps. Scientists had speculated that many of Mars’ mid-latitude features looked like they had been formed by shifting ice, but there wasn’t any sign of the actual glaciers. New images from Mars Odyssey show features, such as debris lines on valley floor, which are amazingly similar to Earth glaciers.
