Give me some of that Martian Spring Water.

Mmmm. Tasty.

UPDATE: Mahalo News gathers more feeds on the find.

“It must be ice,” said Phoenix Principal Investigator Peter Smith of the University of Arizona, Tucson. “These little clumps completely disappearing over the course of a few days, that is perfect evidence that it’s ice. There had been some question whether the bright material was salt. Salt can’t do that.”
