    guess the interesting part of this discovery is specifically that it’s frost since that is a unique form for the water to take especially there. Since we would expect it to sublimate pretty quickly.

    If I am understanding the article. On Mars it’s backwards compared to earth. Earth it is higher you go the colder it is. So to get frost up that high means air currents containing cold water are rushing up to that spot.
