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. |

Man I hope someone had presence of mind to send ol' Kurt up there with some bangsticks and a flamethrower. Having just watched the remake this weekend (it sucked...but not as badly as I thought)...I'm concerned.

Just last week there was a few new stories about the drilling team not radioing in.
Prior to this announcement released by several news agencies today, I was under the impression they were beginning to worry that they may have lost the whole drilling team, and there was no way to send out a rescue mission until after the winter. Which is not quite what this article says, but you get the message.

Something fishy is happening, I don't think that team of Russian scientist is the same ones that left, they've been replaced.

Hmmm, I didn't realize they had lost contact with the drilling team.
But, they're drilling down into a highly pressurized lake, with the weight of 3000 meters of ice on top of it. WHAT IS THE WORST THAT COULD HAPPEN?? |
