Geomorphological evidence of near-surface ice at candidate landing sites in Northern Amazonis Planitia, Mars

Geomorphology suggests that the candidate landing sites for future human exploration (Starship missions) in Northern Amazonis Planitia might host large amounts of ground ice, likely excess ice, just a few cm below the surface. Said evidence includes ice-related landforms such as thermal contraction polygons, craters expanded by sublimation, brain terrain, etc., but most of all an ice-exposing impact crater that excavated directly into the near-surface ice. The ice-exposing impact crater, which can be considered as ground truth, is a strong piece of evidence and contradicts SWIM models that indicated low to no chances of having near-surface ice in the area.
