The red Martian surface may be barren and arid, but about a mile underneath Mars' south pole, scientists think they've found something remarkable.

Using a ground-penetrating radar aboard the European Space Agency's (ESA) Mars Express orbiter, a team of researchers appear to have identified a 12-mile (20 kilometer) wide salty lake underneath a massive glacier on Mars. 

Their research, published Wednesday in the journal Science, opens up the potential for human water supplies in similar Martian reservoirs, and even the possibility that microbial life may live in this liquid place on Mars.
