The discovery of a giant volcano 9,000 meters high on the surface of Mars. The volcano was active from ancient times until relatively recently, with possible remnants of ice near its base.

The discovery of ice buried under relatively recent volcanic deposits within the vicinity of the eroded volcano is important for studying the geological evolution of Mars over time. The research team stated that the discovery of this volcano makes the place attractive and exciting for searching for life, and a potential destination for mechanical and human exploration in the future.
