The EU-funded icyMARS project has found evidence of glaciers, frozen lakes and icebergs on Mars's surface, which, according to principal investigator Dr Alberto Fairén, confirm the existence of very cold oceans on Mars around 4 billion years ago. 'Picture the Arctic Ocean on earth … big massive amounts of ice forming glaciers and large armadas of icebergs floating on the seas and lakes. icyMARS is contributing to revealing Mars as it was, not that earth-like, but really alien,' he said.
