Thickness of ice on perennially frozen lakesA simple energy-balance model for the perenially frozen lakes of Antarctica's southern Victoria Land is presented which, using the measured ablation rate of 30 cm/yr, can explain the observed ice thickness. Some speculations are presented on the ice cover that could have existed on possible former lakes in the equatorial regions of Mars.
