Mars volcanic activity may persist deep underground, hydrogen chloride hints

The ExoMars spacecraft detected hydrogen chloride in Mars' atmosphere in 2021, suggesting ongoing volcanic or hydrothermal activity beneath the surface. This challenges the assumption that Mars is volcanically dead, though the source remains unconfirmed. The finding has implications for planetary geology and potential habitability.
