Not quite. AFAIK, this pic is an ESA achievement (the Yanks have their rovers on the surface, while we have the advanced satellite in orbit)
OTOH, the ESA is not like NASA. We don't spend like there is no tomorrow

It looks like its changed shape over time, Im sure I can see faint outlines of large outspills .. but then again, that could just be the way the dust gets blown about in the crater .. its a huge crater also..

I wonder if it has water vapour outgassing during the summer (mars can reach about 20 C, but the pressure is too low for SURFACE liquid water).
This would be a great place for a Zubrin colony. Just camp right over the ice dome and collect the vapour.
People tend to forget that Mars is a lot like Antarctica only without the air or snow.
Interesting shape. Is it 'bubbling' up from the 'vast sea' underneath?
I'm consitently stupid- Japher I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned
Awesome picture Its very blue looking water isn't it, and its a huge amount! I hope people get interested in space properly again - our future is out there so to speak, we need to secure that future before we stuff up our one habitable planet.
The cost doesn't bother me - especialy when you consider how much gets spent on war.
@Park Avenue(and others with the cost arguement) you could look at it like this:
Explore Mars at great cost
Make weapons and kill each other at great cost

It is sublimating PH, remember that ice can flow. We're probably looking at the top of an ice 'well' that is self-replenishing.
And antarctica is a an excellent model for mars in temperature, they are nearly the same, but in atmospheric pressure....only our stratosphere is equivalent (and bacteria have been found even at these extremely high altitudes).

That ice crater is my new desktop.
Yup, me too.
Better compress it a little though.
