Frozen Sea May Harbour Mars Life
Scientists are now speculating that life may be within the frozen seas of Mars. Sadly, they haven't developed a vehicle that would be able to drill deep enough. They claim that it isn't "plausible that dormant life" can't be found on the surface because of radiation. They believe that water/ice provides an ideal shield for organisms on Mars. I find it interesting that they expect to find dormant organisms rather than live microbes. The article also mentions the possibility of warming, feeding, and reawakening the organisms.
