Mars is a terrestrial planet with a very thin atmosphere. Water boils at 50F degrees because of that. Mars atmosphere consists of over 95% CO2 which means the ice caps are not H2O ice but CO2 ice aka dry ice. This is because there is not enough hydrogen in the atmosphere to create water to make ice.
