Spectral images from the European Space Agency's Mars Express Orbiter show there is plenty of icy water at the southern pole of Mars, French scientists said March 17, 2004. Shown is a partial (visible) view of the Martian south polar ice cap, taken on February 11, 2004. The south pole is where the OMEGA instrument made its significant discovery, with the steep slopes known as 'scarps' made almost entirely of water ice, falling away from the polar cap to the surrounding plains, and the permafrost fields that stretch for tens of miles away from the scarps.
