... that the mound at the center of Louth crater is the warmest permanent body of water, in the form of ice, on the Martian surface? Source: "This ice mound, although a common feature in northern plains’ polar craters, represents the most equatorward (70°N) example (i.e., on average, it is the warmest perennial surface ice on the planet)."

Hi Ornithoptera, review follows; article moved to mainspace 24 January; exceeds minimum length and is well written; sources used appear to mainly be articles from reliable scientific journals; I didn't find any overly close paraphrasing from a (smallish) sample of the many sources cited; hook fact is mentioned in the article and checks out to the source cited; image looks good and is freely and appropriately licensed; a QPQ has been carried out. Can't see any issues here - Dumelow (talk) 09:36, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you so much for the review Dumelow! Enjoy your day and I hope you enjoyed the article! Ornithoptera (talk) 00:52, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
