Water and Valcanoes on Mars

According to Discovery Canada there is new evidence that suggests that Mars has both dormant volcanoes and water beneath the soil. NASA's spirit rover recently turned up a bizarre "white substance" beneath some Martian soil. The rover took x-ray photos of the soil and sent them back down to earth. Professors at Guelph University believe that the samples contain 16% water and are remnants of evaporated oceans and pools.

This is just another piece of information that points to evidence of life on Mars. It is nice to see that neighbors Canada and the USA are pooling resources to help with this pursuit.
