Photos of fresh meteorite craters show a reflective white material which goes away over the course of a few weeks or months. This is in the mid-latitudes. So it is not limited to near the poles.

 

The depth of the crater can be estimated at a few meters. These are small meteorite impacts. Spectrograph confirmed that it is H2O

 

The ice layer is apt to be fairly widespread.

 

Scr*w the moon. Mars is where the real water is. :D
