In the north of Mars, something whacked it and smoothed a vast ellipsoid, creating the northern plains. Among those plains is Amazonis, west of Olympus. A few years ago a (smaller) meteor struck it and excavated some ice.
This week ScienceDaily has deigned a Mississippi press release ... from last June (per the URL). This relays a 3 May paper, by Erica Luzzi et-quinque. Luzzi's sextet confirms the 25°N band of water-ice in shovel-distance of surface settlement.
It's not anything new to Baghestan readers, of which I seem to have attracted many lately (likely robots). Also I've never been interested in settling this postapocalyptic planet when we haven't bothered settling the interior of Iceland or the dry valleys of Antarctica. Get to Deimos first, Elon. Or even our Moon, which we can at least resupply and/or evacuate in time.
