Scientific paper

Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) local and regional topographic data support the presence of an extensive Hesperian-aged volatile-rich south polar deposit underlying the present Amazonian-aged cap; several lines of evidence for melting and subglacial flow indicate that the deposits underwent meltback and liquid water drainage into surrounding lows, including the Argyre basin. Additional information is contained in the original extended abstract.
