A Large New Crater Exposes the Limits of Water Ice on Mars

Abstract Water ice in the Martian mid‐latitudes has advanced and retreated in response to variations in the planet's orbit, obliquity, and climate. A 150 m‐diameter new impact crater near 35°N provides the lowest‐latitude impact exposure of subsurface ice on Mars. This is the largest known ice‐...
