The discovery of deep buried glaciers on Mars will help the world understand how much water and location it can get on Mars to provide water for future human explorers, researchers said. NASA has released images of Mars that look like the southwestern desert, just like the earth. Published in the journal of the American Science (Science) research report said that although the ice on Mars has long been know, but a complete understanding of its depth and location, is essential for future human explorers.
研究人员日前表示，火星上发现深埋冰河，有助于外界了解能在火星上取得多少水和确切位置，以向未来人类探险家提供水源。美国国家航空航天局(NASA)发布火星影像，地貌酷似美国西南部沙漠，与地球景色如出一辙。 刊登在美国《科学》(Science)期刊的研究报告表示，虽然一直以来都知道火星上有冰，但完整了解它的深度和位置，对未来人类探险家而言至关重要。
"People need water everywhere," said Shane Byrne, a researcher at the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory at the university of Arizona. Previously, the idea of extracting human water from Mars was made from extremely dry atmosphere or broken water rock.
The underground cliffs or steep slopes appear to be "close to pure ice," the study said. The Mars reconnaissance orbiter (MRO), launched in 2005, sent back images and data to help scientists discover that Mars was buried deep in glaciers. The probe's first discovery of water on Mars was published in the 2010 issue of the journal science.
亚利桑那大学月球与行星实验室(Lunar and Planetary Laboratory)研究人员柏恩(Shane Byrne)说：“人类无论到哪都需要水，随身携带很重。之前对于从火星汲取人类能用水源的想法，是从极为干燥的大气或击碎含水岩石取得。”
研究报告表示，这些地下悬崖或陡坡似乎“接近纯冰”。 2005年发射的火星勘测轨道卫星(MRO)传回影像和数据，协助科学家发现火星深埋冰河。这个探测器首次在火星上发现水的成果，刊登在2010年美国《科学》期刊。
