This may mean there would have to have been an atmosphere at one point that produced snow?
“This slab of ice right beneath the surface has been preserved for the last 10s of millions of years and is a remnant from a past climate since water ice isn’t stable at the surface of Mars at this location today,” Bramson told CBS News.
“So, that’s what we need to investigate,” he wondered. “What kept the ice around all this time? There’s no climate model that we have now that explains this.”
And if a previous atmosphere wasn’t unusual enough, let’s say there was one…as the researcher asks above, how can one explain the snow still being there?? Feel free to comment

Ummm…
The water froze?
Eother it bis proof that no planets climate is stable over time, or that Martians didn’t head the warnings of AL Gore and drove gas guzzling SUV’S until global warming/climate change extinct ed them all.
Just goes to show ya. Not all science is concrete, written in stone. There are too many variables in this universe.
The only thing that is certain is the uncertainty.
It froze there , lol.
Planets are just parts of a giant atom that was inside a super collider and that atom was split. J/k
Pretty crazy about the ice on Mars.
Thermodynamics of atoms j/k
Can’t wait for the explanation.
Its always been there.
Aliens. Boom.
