Scientists Find Water Frost on Mars' Tallest Volcanoes

New research reveals morning frost at the peaks of equatorial volcanoes, challenging previous assumptions about Mars' climate.

  • Water frost discovered on Mars' tallest volcanoes, including Olympus Mons.
  • The frost forms briefly each morning before evaporating under the sun.
  • Researchers estimate up to 150,000 tons of water cycles daily in these regions.
  • The discovery suggests a more complex water cycle on Mars than previously thought.
  • Findings could aid future human exploration missions by highlighting potential water sources.
