"Lost World' reached: 20 million yr old Antarctic lake 'drilled' - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

Here's a bit:

"After 30 years spent drilling through a four-kilometer-thick ice crust, researchers have finally broken through to a unique subglacial lake. Scientists are set to reveal its 20-million-year-old secrets, and imitate a quest to discover ET life.

The Vostok project breathes an air of mystery and operates at the frontiers of human knowledge. The lake is one of the major discoveries in modern geography; drilling operations at such depths are unprecedented; never before has a geological project required such subtle technologies."

This is a cool story. I won't be surprised if they find some form of life that has adapted to that environment. This article reminds me of this one https://www.alaskadispatch.com/artic...ms-ocean-floor where several previously unknown species were found living near hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor

apparently, the way they planned on doing it risked little to no contamination according to them...but i agree..either we will contaminate whats there..or it may do something to us...still kinda neat
