That makes sense.
That means their could be an inhabitable zone inbetween the extremes I'd think.
The ice is contained within craters on the poles that sunlight never penetrates. I wonder if habitations could be built if giant domes were raised over the craters BigSmile
Or we could evolve into MOLE PEOPLE and live underground!
