Life on Mars? New NASA study finds scope for photosynthesis beneath icy surface

The study has found that there are radiatively habitable zones within exposed mid-latitude ice on Mars, at depths ranging from a few centimetres for ice with 0.01–0.1 per cent dust, and up to a few metres within cleaner ice.
