I have given the hypothesis of marsbug some thought, and considering the possible chemistry of the lakes that could hold dissolved organics that indeed might bond into something of the kind.
An oily organic substance is also possible, it would also dampen waves, but would it be to heavy float? Lastly we have the foam proposed by the scientists involved in these studies, yes it would float, yet if there's any wind it would move. Regardless of those alternatives, I label the idea by marsbug a plausible alternative. |
