NASA just found places where microbial Martians might be able to thrive

Quick Summary:

Scientists have discovered small, potentially habitable areas on Mars where life could, in theory, transform sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into oxygen, according to a new NASA study.

Through computer simulations, the team demonstrated that a habitable zone could exist on Mars in ice with such dust.

But the problems presented by Mars' atmosphere for ice to melt into water don't exist below a glacier or tightly packed snow.
