Water‐Ice Exposing Scarps Within the Northern Midlatitude Craters on Mars

Abstract We report new exposures of water ice along the scarps wall located within craters in the northern midlatitude region of Mars using high‐resolution imagery and spectral data of Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The exposed water‐ice deposits are shallower and exhibit 1.5 and 2 μm absorption. Thes...
