In the high northern latitudes of Mars, around the polar cap, the remnant massifs of layered deposits can be found. These massifs could be remnants of polar layered deposits (PLD) of northern polar cup. In our research, we used the MOLA topography data to assess the shape of ice massifs both on the flat surface and within larger impact craters. For the ice deposits in the craters, we used an empirical relationship between the craters depth and diameter, original program for measuring of average elevation and math approximation approach to estimate volume of ice.
