What challenge exists for accessing the newly discovered water ice reservoir on Mars?

The newly discovered water ice reservoir in the Nereida Montes region of Mars presents a significant challenge for future landing missions due to its terrain characteristics. As described by Daniel Berman, a Senior Researcher at the Planetary Science Institute, the area is notably 'bumpy territory' that would 'almost certainly be extremely hard to land there.' While this water ice discovery represents a promising resource for potential human exploration of Mars, the difficult topography creates a substantial obstacle for spacecraft attempting to access it. This highlights the complex balance between finding valuable resources like water on Mars and the practical challenges of actually utilizing them for future missions.
