Abstract:

The finding was made by a group of Italian scientists using a radar installed in the Mars Express probe of the European Space Agency. In fact, they compare the 20 km lake located with the large water lakes beneath the Antarctic and Greenland. Specifically, it is one and a half kilometers below the surface and has a triangular shape.
