BREAKTHROUGH on MARS!
WATER ICE CONFIRMED!

This stunning image from ESA’s Mars Express reveals  Korolev Crater — a massive, XX km-wide basin filled with year-round ice! 

Thanks to a natural cold trap, the crater’s X km-deep floor keeps cold air locked in — preserving a central mound of ice up to XXX km thick! The result? A Martian "snowfield" that never melts. 

 Captured by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC), this marks XX years of Mars Express orbiting the Red Planet since Dec 25, 2003.

Named after space pioneer Sergei Korolev, this site is a major target for life-hunting missions like ESA’s ExoMars, which continues exploring Mars’ frozen secrets.
