Mars Express finds more underground water on Mars
ESA’s Mars Express spacecraft has discovered several ponds of liquid water buried under the ice in the south polar region of Mars. The spacecraft’s radar instrument, MARSIS (Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding), revealed one underground reservoir in 2018, buried about 1.5 km below the ice.

Re: Mars Express finds more underground water on Mars
Seems to indicate that there was once shallow oceans on Mars. Pretty interesting.
