			Note that in the past, Mars had periods when its poles pointed more directly at the sun. During these periods, ice and snow would build up on the side facing away from the sun, and then melt the following local spring. It is unknown if the layers of snow and ice during such periods would build up a thick enough ice sheet to explain the geology found.
