What do you say to this, Bert?

Still say that Mars is so dry that there is not one water molecule
there?

Hi Ray and Double-A  Read there is water frost on Mercury shady side
crater. Read there is ice water on a shady crater near our Moons north
pole,and having frosty water on a Mars shady crater,and under the CO2 of
its frosty white north pole all go with "water water every where"    I'm
hoping Paul Allen reads this stuff and thinks it is a good idea to bring
a pint of the Moon or Mars water using my simple probe and return
method.  It would be the most expensive pint of water in the world,but
with Allen's bucks we could afford to use it to toast each other.

I saw that Mars picture some time ago and I immediately thought
about ice skates instead of pints to bring in. It must me at least a
ten to 12 kilometer frozen lake. Let's organize an ice hockey match.
Darla's Eta Eridani Raiders against the Flordia Shuttle Herbs. Given
the lower gravity that must give a nice spectacle. Better than
golfing on the Moon. Been there, done that.

As long as it makes a really nice hot cup of tea ;-)

Wow!!!
How much water would that photo indicate Ray?
My guess - if you could get it to a safe location - is about 4 or 5 Olympic size swimming pools?  - Maybe more?

I kid you not....

Dunno for sure, but this link gives some figures for crater size etc
which could give an estimate for it's volume of ice.
