On the National Geographic website I found an article on Mars. Scientists have used ice-penetrating radar to map the south pole of mars's underlying terrain. They say that the southern polar ice cap of Mars has about 2.2 miles of ice, enough to cover the planet with 36 feet of water. The article also says, that from the radar they have discovered that the ice is very pure, containing less than 10% dust.
