Would drinking melted ice water from Mars taste like sparkling water?

$begingroup$


Does water on Mars form from the atmosphere as ice free from salt?
Does water desalinize through the evaporation and transpiration?



When the fresh top ice is placed in a container then pressurized to melt, would the water be carbonated?



Particulates of salt and dust is less in the atmosphere during a Martian winter so would the ice that forms be also drinkably cleaner?

          Any ice that forms from water will be free of salt -- the process of crystallization does an excellent job of removing impurities.



          But that's only when freezing out of liquid water, which is not a process that happens today at the Martian surface. When ice forms out of the air, it forms as tiny crystals -- "hoar frost" we call it on Earth -- and forms on substrates, such as grains of sand. Since the soil of Mars is laden with salts of various sorts (including things a lot nastier than NaCl, such as perchlorate salts), it's hard to believe that the Martian hoar frost wouldn't be contaminated with salty sand and dust.



          And, of course, the Martian atmosphere has dust suspended in it which is continually precipitating out and dust which is blown up by the not-infrequent dust storms and dust devils and all of this falls on any newly-formed frost.



          It's very hard to see how there could be any macroscopic ice deposits on Mars that don't have dust and salt as impurities.

Laŭ la helena mitologio, Tantalo (el la greka Τάνταλος , ŝancelanta aŭ tre malfeliĉa ) estis filo de Zeŭso kaj la oceanidino Pluto, laŭ la plej divastigata versio. Li estis reĝo de Frigio [1] aŭ de la monto Sipilo, en Lidio (Malgrandazio) [2] kaj post sia morto li suferis eternan torturadon ĉe la Tartaro, la plej profunda parto de Hadeso, rezervita por la plej perversaj homoj. Tamen, kelkaj rakontoj asertas ke li estis reĝo de Argo aŭ de Korinto [3] , aŭ ke li migris norden el la monto Sipilo por akiri la tronon de Paflagonio, el kie Ilo forpelis lin pro tio, ke Tantalo forkaptis kaj seksperfortis lian fraton Ganimedon [4] , kaj tiel ofendis la diojn. Verŝajne li ankaŭ regis urbon en okcidenta Anatolio, kiun oni nomis Tantalis [5] pro li, aŭ Sipilo , pro la monto sur kies flanko ankoraŭ staras ĝiaj ruinaĵoj [6] . Laŭ la geografiisto Strabo,...
