The former streams become visible since they are resistant to erosion. Mars Global Surveyor found several examples of this process. [26] Many inverted streams have been discovered in various regions of mars, especially in the Medusae Fossae Formation, [27] Miyamoto Crater, [28] and the Juventae Plateau. [29] [30] The image below shows one example.

The ice was confirmed with the Compact Imaging Spectrometer (CRISM) on board the Mars Reconnaissance ...
