Compositional Constraints of Ice Lobes at the Edge of Martian South Polar Cap and the Possibility for CO2 Ice
As one of the major ice reservoirs on Mars, the south polar layered deposits (SPLD) are mainly composed of water ice and dust except for the perennial CO _2 ice deposits on the surface and within buried layers. At the edge of Planum Australe, the Shallow Radar detected the base of two ice lobes, whi...
