I think it is ice.
Perhaps the reflection comes from a very smooth surface resulting from resolidification of molten water after a meteorite impact on the surface

Re: What do you think the unusual plumes on Mars are?
It may be a meteorite impact.
Why the plume lasted so long could be due to the particle size of the ejected dust (very small, therefore with a very slow settling velocity)
