A group of U.S. scientists has discovered ice away from the poles of Mars and a few meters of rock cover the planet. The glacier water is in low latitudes of the planet "is a very important discovery because it not only confirms the existence of water on Mars, but covers the need for this item will future interplanetary missions, "said Ali Safaeinili, a scientist at Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) of NASA.
