Why do astronomers think that the southern polar cap of mars has water ice under the carbon dioxide ice?

Astronomers think that there is water under the carbon dioxide ice because of its constant bubling in the ice you may not think that's why but we have been examing it constantly and watching the videos from the mars rover. did you know that mars has two moons named Phobos and Deimos both thoose names are Greek names. They are named after the gods of war who discovered mars in 1605. Phobos meaning fear and Deimos meaning panic or terror! oh and if you have anymore questions just e-mail me my e-mail is Taylor.parkes@hotmail.com my name is Taylor and you are allowed to add me on msn i really don't care but I'm not on every day because i am an astronaut so i go away a lot. Bye and thanks for letting me answer your questions.
