Scientific paper

The first 290 days of Martian mapping in high energy neutrons by High Energy Neutron Detector (HEND) on board of NASA "2001 Mars Odyssey" spacecraft manifest very strong variation of flux of neutrons at different points above the surface of the planet. The largest areas with deficits of high energy neutrons are observed at regions with high latitudes around both south and north pPoles of Mars. The interpretation of the signature of neutrons depression is presented, as the evidence for large provinces on Mars with water ice bearing layers in the upper sub-surface. The evidence for seasonal variations of neutron flux from Mars is also presented and discussed.
