Default After 30 years of drilling, scientists have reached the surface of Lake Vostok

'Lost World' reached: 20 million yr old Antarctic lake 'drilled' — RT

It's a lake the size of Lake Ontario that's under 3km of ice, and separated from the rest of the world for about 20 million years.

I wonder what they're gonna find down there? Completely sterile environment? Dormant sea monster?

They won't be able to take water samples until later this year. Presumably during the antarctic summer. Which would be around December.


Perhaps..... December 21, 2012.
