Glaciers that still exist on the surface of Mars are helping to tell the story of its past. The red planet experienced between six and 20 separate ice ages during the past 300 to 800 million years ...

The remains of a glacier have been found near the Martian equator. While the glacier no longer exists, a salty layer has preserved the shape, size and detailed features of the icy formation.

Some glaciers on Mars might have had an assist from below. The research team hypothesized that to push the glaciers any faster, there would have had to be enough stress to make up for weaker gravity.

Mars has vast glaciers hidden under aprons of rocky debris near mid-latitude mountains, a new study confirms, pointing to a new and large potential reservoir of life-supporting water on the ...

Mars rover Curiosity: Images from the red planet 51 photos The researchers took advantage of a project last year by University of Texas researchers that mapped the glaciers on the Red Planet.

Scientists have spotted thinly buried glaciers of water ice on Mars that could one day support a human base on the red planet and help reveal the mysteries of our neighbor's long climate history.
