Glaciers and ice caps.
However, the ice caps are melting, making their hunting periods shorter each year.

It melted quickly large ice caps, causing a flood that destroyed almost all coastal areas on the planet within a day.

Decreases in glaciers and ice caps, along with thermal expansion, have contributed greatly to the recent sea level rise.

There is still water on Mars today, although it is frozen under the surface and at the planet's North andSouth Poles like Earth's ice caps.
Local ice caps existed in Irian Jaya, Indonesia, where in three ice areas remnants of the Pleistocene glaciers are still preserved today.
However, because he overestimated the surface pressure on Mars,Kuiper concluded erroneously that the ice caps could not be composed of frozen carbon dioxide.
Water on Mars is found frozen in its polar ice caps, and newly carved gullies recently observed on Mars suggest that liquid water may exist, at least transiently, on the planet's surface.
There are still some that will argue that global warming does not matter-- that melting ice caps do not matter because they think they can take care of themselves.
The report is based on the global distribution of glaciers and ice caps and focuses on long-term front variation(going back to the late nineteenth century) and mass balance series in the various regions going back to the mid-twentieth century.
In the past decade and a half, thermal expansion of the oceans has contributed about 57 per cent ofthe total sea-level rise, with decreases in glaciers and ice caps contributing about 28 per cent and losses from the polar ice sheets contributing the remainder.
Projected changes in a number of variables were also addressed, for example: there will be further contraction of snow cover;the loss of mass in glaciers and ice caps may be irreversible in some regions; the permafrost area is likely to decrease by up to 35 per cent by the middle of the twenty-first century; it is likely that there will be more intense tropical cyclones; and there will be changes in seasonal run-off in snow-fed regions.
The drier northern section of the Arctic Cordillera is largely covered with ice caps while glaciers are more common at the more humid southern end.
Some precipitation falls as snow or hail,sleet, and can accumulate as ice caps and glaciers, which can store frozen water for thousands of years.
This report, Global Glacier Changes: Facts and Figures,is based on the global distribution of glaciers and ice caps and focuses on the available long-term front variation and mass balance series in the various regions.

Perhaps the first definitive mention of Mars's southern polar ice cap was by the Italian astronomer Giovanni Domenico Cassini, in 1666.
An ice field is also distinguishable from an ice cap because it does not have a dome-like form.
