Cool, though not suprising...

One of the robots the US sent to Mars litereally SCRATCHED THE SURFACE with it's little digging tool and uncovered ice. Apparently a large portion of the Martian surface is ice, covered with a layer of dust; and according to this article the dust is even part water-like.
