Little has been understood about Mars and its resources, beyond what has been learned from probes sent to its orbit and more recently to the planet's surface. What is now being learned confirms previous speculation that Mars actually has abundant geothermal energy -- and furthermore that there is a sophisticated infrastructure for harvesting it.

Mars actually has two distinct geophysical characteristics: extensive volcanic activity below its western hemisphere, and massive underground glaciers of ice in its south and eastern hemispheres. Supercharged reactors pierce and melt sections of those glaciers, and the water is channeled through underground caverns to enormous geothermal fields where it is evaporated into steam to power turbines. Martians also have developed innovative cooling and recirculation techniques using the planet's CO2 resources, both dry ice deposits as well as captured and compressed atmospheric gas.
