International audience The mid-latitudes of Mars host a large amount of buried ice deposits [1], which bear a record on the very Late Amazonian climate evolution (~10 7 to 10 8 yr.) [2] and are a possible resource for future exploration [3]. The reconstruction of the history of these ice reservoirs...
