I'm currently experimenting a little to put some water on 
Mars. I'm not sure if it looks realistic, so ideas are welcome. 

The water has an interior with exponential fading. 

The (nearly) same image without water can be found at

Rendering time for 1200x600 +A0.2 was 330 minutes on AthlonXP 1.4GHz. 
Memory consumption was 50Mb.
