Once-Habitable Lake Found on Mars
Once-Habitable Lake Found on Mars
A lake that might once have been habitable may have filled a crater for a long time on early Mars, new spacecraft images reveal. NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter captured the images that suggest the debris-strewn Holden Crater once held a calm body of water that could have harbored life. picked by AutumnLotus 6 months ago

Oh yeah, Holder Crater Lake. I think my parents used to rent a cabin there during the summer.

"once-habitable lake", "once held a calm body of water"

Mars has ice caps on both poles. More so it's frozen H2O and not methane or something like on Io or Titan. My question is: Why don't we land our crafts there and take some ice samples? This thing is so obvious, there must be some good reason for it. Is it about that orbiting and landing is much easier to do near the equator?
