Observe a large crater filled with ice on Mars

The European Space Agency (ESA) released Friday footage of a large hole filled with ice in the Arctic Arctic.

According to the newspaper "The Guardian", could probe, "Mars Express", the agency, which entered the orbit of the Red Planet on New Year's Day in 2003, in order to capture these images, said the agency is filled with "amazing Koroliv" in the northern lowlands of March all year round, because of a permanent layer of cold air on Mars that keeps the water frozen.

The crater 50 miles long contains 530 cubic miles of water ice, up to Great Bear Lake in northern Canada, and in the center of the crater, more than one kilometer of ice.

The images of the red planet show that the pit rises well above the surrounding plain and that, when the small air of Mars crosses the crater, it is trapped and cooled to form an insulating layer preventing melting ice.

Evidence from space ships in orbit reveals ancient watercourses and lakes on Mars.

Massive amounts of frozen water were discovered in the poles of the planet last July, and astronomers used radar measurements of the probe to find what appeared to be 12 miles of salt water under the surface of the planet.

The reason for the designation of this hole as "the Korolev's nozzle" was named after Sergey Koroliev, Russian rocket engineer and spacecraft designer, known for being the father of Soviet space technology.
