Evidence from HRSC Mars Express for a Frozen Sea Close to Mars’ Equator [#1741].
"We present evidence for a presently-existing frozen sea, with surface pack-ice, at 5°N, 150°E,
age ca. 5 million years. It measures ca. 800 × 900 km and averages ca. 45 m deep. It has probably been protected from complete sublimation by ash and a sublimation lag of exposed sediment."
