My doubts about Mars having any water have been dispelled!

That is rather exciting.
I propose a mission to look around and under for life.

Beautiful picture. You can figure the wind direction with one side of the icecap eroded and the other side blown on the crater rim.

Nice image!
Imaging water ice on Mars is hardly new though, here's one from the same spacecraft in 2005:

Not to mention Phoenix directly observing water ice on the surface 10 years ago
