Major breakthrough! Giant volcano found on Mars with glacier ice beneath it. What could it mean for humans?
==========

Scientists announced the discovery of a giant volcano on Mars along with a possible sheet of buried glacier ice in the Tharsis volcanic area near the equator. The volcano, provisionally named 'Noctis Volcano,' measures +9,022 meters in elevation and spans 450 kilometers in width. It has been active for a very long time and shows signs of recent volcanic activity. The discovery opens up new possibilities for studying Mars and potential future exploration. The presence of glacier ice at shallow depths near the equator could allow humans to extract water for hydration and manufacturing rocket fuel. The announcement was made at the 55th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference held in The Woodlands, Texas.
