The report said that Scientists have identified an extensive ice-rich deposit hidden beneath the Medusae Fossae Formation (MFF), a geological structure near Mars’ equator. This water reservoir extends to depths of 2.7 kilometers, significantly deeper than previous scientific estimates. If melted, this ice deposit could potentially flood the entire Martian surface with approximately 2.7 meters of water.
As the scientists explored, they found out that the deposits were even thicker than what the scientists originally thought. Mars can potentially support future human missions, and the presence of such extensive water resources significantly improves prospects for eventual human settlement on Mars. Throughout human history, water access has determined settlement patterns, and Mars exploration follows this same.
