The north pole of Mars is slowly sinking under the weight of an ice cap that only formed within the past few million years. And, in the process, it's telling us something about what the planet's ...

with polar ice caps forming only under specific and coincidental cooling conditions. This revelation not only reshapes our understanding of Earth’s past but also raises serious concerns about ...

The team concluded that the Martian northern polar cap is quite young, and it's depressing the ground underneath. "We show that the ice sheet pushes the underlying ground into the mantle at a rate ...

Chinese scientists have successfully conducted an ice-cap detection experiment in Antarctica using a domestically developed ultra-wideband hyperspectral microwave radiometer, as reported by China's ...

The ice cap is causing the ground beneath it to depress at a rate of up to 0.13 mm per year, indicating a cold and highly viscous upper mantle. This slow deformation suggests that Mars's interior ...
