That particular site I mentioned always lists the address from which the images are drawn, giving us the immediate option to view the original. Quite reassuring.
It is interesting to note how standing water on Mars was always a definate, catagorical, absolute no-no ... until this most recent report.
I would be interested to know if it is scientifically possible to introduce an additive to liquid water (besides the salt case) to render it un-boil-off-able, so to speak? If they plan a base on Mars, would they require surface water...or simply just silo the necessary liquids?
