ok but

from your cool set of images, I did not detect any spots at the top or bottom that were dark in all images. My looking at these images is not a scientific search, I admit. Still, the only spots likely to have ice are the ones that do not receive any sunlight. They should show up (unless they are small enough that humans can't see them at these resolutions) as spots that always have shadows in all of your images.

As well, locations up the walls from the bottoms of craters may not have any ices either, even if they are always in darkness. Two reasons for this: 1) they are sloped so that ice (and dust) will tend to slide off of them, and 2) they will receive more reflected (from other peaks/walls) radiant energy than the bottoms of the craters.
