Mars has two polar ice caps. The northern ice cap is mainly composed of frozen H2O. The southern ice cap is mainly composed of frozen CO2.
I am no expert in Science, but because these are "ice caps" they would be made out of H2O (water) molecules, but how they got there I don't have a clue. I hope this is the correct answer, Im not to sure......
The polar ice caps on mars are mainlt CO2 ice, frozen carbon dioxide. This is sometimes called `dry ice` on earth as it goes directly from gas to solid form with no liquid phase at normal pressures.
Pluto although entirely covered by ice, is no longer considered a planet. The only planets in our solar system with polar ice caps are Earth and Mars.
Mars has two ice caps. Planum Australe (Southern) and Planum Boreum (Northern). See links for further information.

Ice caps are made out of Carbon Dioxide on Mars.

Mars' ice caps are made of water and water doesn't melt until 33.0579 degrees Fahrenheit and the average temperature on mars is -80 degrees Fahrenheit, for most of the planet.BUT...The Ice Caps are located at the southern most point of mars, where the average temperature is -250 degrees Fahrenheit.
Both Mars and Earth have polar ice caps, cooler areas with reduced exposure to the sun. Those on Earth are mainly made from water ice, while those on Mars are mainly made from frozen carbon dioxide.

Mars. Edit : As far as I know the ice caps contain water ice as well as frozen carbon dioxide.
The planet Mars has polar ice caps that are composed of nearly 100 percent water ice. These ice caps shrink and expand with the changing seasons on Mars.

Earth and Mars. The polar ice caps on mars are mainly CO2 ice, frozen carbon dioxide.
Ice caps, a solid ice core, all frozen, maybe "rivers" made previously.
No, but there is ice in the caps.
