There's Water On Mars?

"Korolev crater is filled with ice that's about 5,905 feet thick all year long.

The crater, which is nearly 50.1 miles..."NASA has been exploring Mars since 1965. Here are some of the best moments captured by Mars missions over the years. <br />The European Space Agency's Mars Express mission captured this image of the Korolev crater, more than 50 miles across and filled with water ice, near the north pole.
A very descriptive article about the crater filled with ice. Is it really true? What did they even use to take a picture of this from this sort of angle? 
"NASA has been exploring Mars since 1965."
That's almost 54 years, more than double my age! I wonder if there are any microorganisms frozen there. Unfortunately, the article does not mention anything about tests or collections from the crater. The article just provides various information about the discovery and deploying a seismometer to understand what’s happening on the surface of Mars.
