Liquid water and any forms of life if there are hidden deep below the surface of planet Mars.
Satellite radar mapping of North Pole of the planet Mars has revealed ice cap age that was formed with 5 million years ago.
Using deep radar scanning the ice cap in some areas having a depth of 3 km. Low temperatures and hardness of rocks under the ice layer indicates that if there is liquid water lies deep below the surface.
The ice cap is made of fine layers separate by dust. Besides these fine layers, the researchers have identified four main sections that correspond most likely the major processes of planetary level.
Each layer corresponds according to scientists end of a period of 100,000 years, and a major period of approximately one million years.
