      Yes! Quite a lot, but it is not like Earth with big oceans, lakes and rivers – it is mostly ice.

      But they did discover large saltwater lakes under the ice too! https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-02751-1

      Yes – Mars has two polar ice caps the southern ice cap is 400 km in diameter, as compared to the 1100 km diameter of the northern cap.
