A pool of liquid water found under Mars' south pole
... harshest conditions on Earth, including within subglacial environments. Could comparable underground pockets of salty, sediment-rich liquid water on Mars also provide a suitable breeding ground for this type of life-form, either now or in the past...

Third largest water reservoir on Mars found
...'s trapped in the poles is important if you're going to have liquid water on Mars," Nerozzi said. "You can have all the right conditions for life, but if most of the water is locked up at the poles, then it becomes difficult to have sufficient...

New evidence of a planet-wide groundwater system on Mars
... of it could be found, the implications surrounding a discovery of this kind would be huge. Just last year, Mars Express found a pool of liquid water buried under the martian south pole. Now new evidence from ESA’s sky-bound...

Water vapour spotted escaping from Mars' atmosphere
... gas. "The deuterium to hydrogen ratio, D/H, is our chronometer—a powerful metric that tells us about the history of water on Mars, and how water loss evolved over time. Thanks to the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter, we can now better understand...

Massive ice deposits found under the surface of Mars
...less than one percent of all known water ice on Mars. With a seemingly abundance of water ice buried not far from the surface... this could have implications for the possibility of life on Mars. "Where water ice has been around for a long time, we just...

Martian Seasonal Streaks May be Caused by Boiling Water
... up a 2015 study which had found “the strongest evidence yet” for liquid water on Mars. However, because of the low pressure of the Red Planet's atmosphere, water cannot survive long in liquid form, as it either boils or freezes. In September 2015...
