Summary
Mars may have hidden liquid lakes beneath a thin layer of ice, potentially existing for decades. Recent discoveries, including those made by China's rover Zhurong, suggest that Mars was not as dry as previously thought, with ancient lakes possibly surviving under ice. Conditions for liquid lakes were successful in a cold Martian paleoclimate.
