Scientists working with the Phoenix lander on Mars say they believe the craft may have found ice just under the planet’s surface.

This BBC News story says that chunks of a bright material found in a trench dug by the craft have disappeared over four Martian days, suggesting they have vaporized.

Digging in another trench has been stopped because the lander’s arm hit a hard surface - also thought to be ice.
