"It is not yet clear, though, if the evidence of a single year's change represents a trend. "

All too correct. A single year means squat. There were less dust storms, which means average temperature was up.

Imagine that.

Water or not?

The rate of erosion suggests the features are made of moderately dense but solid carbon dioxide, rather than water ice, the scientists conclude. But that does not preclude the possibility of water ice at the south pole.

"We don't know what's underneath," Caplinger said. "You could certainly have water ice under carbon dioxide."

He said the only way to find out is to go there and drill down.
