The poles receive no sunlight, so even as close as Mercury is to the Sun, it has ice!

It's crazy that Mercury can be so close to the Sun and still have places on the surface cold enough for water to freeze!

Keep in mind Mercury is a dead planet, its core cooled off a long time ago.

Earth gets heat from both the sun and the hot inner core.

But, ya its surprising.
