Hints: Mars Boynton southern hemisphere Lake Michigan Antarctica latitude the North/South Pole

It could only mean one thing. There is water ice on Mars today. And there is masses of it.
Boynton and his team had discovered a vast area of ice in the southern hemisphere. A frozen ocean over 5,000 km wide.
There is plenty of water there. What we found is just in the surface. If we melted that, it would be enough to fill Lake Michigan two times over. There actually is probably a lot more 'cuz we don't know how deep the ice goes. That's just in the upper metre there's that much. It could be ten meters deep. It could be 100 meters deep. There's a lot of ice there.
The ice they have found is trapped in the ground, a permafrost just like in Antarctica. Crucially, it's located at latitudes on Mars where conditions are relatively mild, where there's a real chance of life surviving.
One of the most interesting things about this is it's not right up near the South Pole or right not near the North Pole. It actually goes down to temperate latitudes. It goes all the way down to about 45 degrees latitude. This is like the equivalent of Paris France on Earth. This is really a place where it's much more likely we can find life I feel.
