Recent radar observations of Mercury have detected strong depolarized echoes from the north and south polar regions which have been interpreted by some as ice deposits in the floors of permanently shadowed impact craters. We have used the experience from Mars, where subsurface ice lowers the depth-t
"Terrain softening" is a distinct style of landform degradation observed on Mars. The morphology and distribution of softened terrain have led to the hypothesis that it is the result of quasiviscous relaxation of topology due to the creep deformation of subsurface ice. In order to test this hypothes
