On the 24th of December 2021, an impact produced a 150-m-wide crater on Mars (Fig. 1) and excavated subsurface water ice [1, 2]. The crater is located at 35.10°N, 189.82°E in Amazonis Planitia, and is the largest crater observed to have formed since MRO (Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter) began observations in 2006. The crater presents the lowest-latitude observation of subsurface ice exposed by an impact on Mars [12]. The ice is seen in the proximal ejecta,
