The MARSIS instrument of the Mars Express probe was launched in July and now the first discovery has been made known: an underground ice lake. It is between a kilometer and a half and two and a half kilometers of the earth's surface, apparently in a crater that was formerly on the surface. Therefore, this discovery will allow us to better understand the geological history of Mars.
