Evidence of buried glacier in Valles Marineris

I found this very interesting work

http://www.dmzone.org/papers/Gourroncetal2014_VM.pdf

Valles Marineris may be an interesting site for the first manned mission.

Re: Evidence of buried glacier in Valles Marineris

This old article supports the idea that permafrost (Which could be ice free) should extend down to 3.5 kilometers at the equator, 8 k at the poles:

This article to me seems to be the similar material to the PDF you provided, perhaps crafted for a lesser mind such as mine.

But I am excited by this.  Should it be true, then humans can avoid the high latitudes at first and can have abundant water.

Be careful what you wish for.
