It sometimes seems as if our planet has no secrets left, but deep beneath the great Antarctic ice sheet scientists have made an astonishing discovery. They've found one of the largest lakes in the world. It's very existence defies belief. Scientists are desperate to get into the lake because its extreme environment may be home to unique flora and fauna, never seen before, and NASA are excited by what it could teach us about extraterrestrial life. But 4 kilometers of ice stand between the lake and the surface, and breaking this seal without contaminating the most pristine body of water on the planet is possibly one of the greatest challenges science faces in the 21st century.

What you think of this magnificent discovery? Do you think life exist deep beneath of those ice sheet?

Lets discuss.

Personally I think life does exist deep beneath of those ice sheet, because they have found life in other places that didn't even needed the sun to actually stay alive.

Besides that discovering the Lake Vostok is another mystery that humanity might not have known before due of the ice sheet blocking the path to the lake.

I think that they would find new fish or the cure for cancer jk

Why don't we send in a little probe camera to see if any sustained life is in that lake.

If I'm right after watching the video they did send the probe camera or it's still in development. NASA is facing the greatest challenge in history there.

I have a feeling that they might find life, but its probably more likely to be a special bacteria(archybacteria, probably). Anyways, who knows, this could prove the theory that the moon was a chunk of rock that was knocked off the side of the earth's surface. Anyways, it is interesting that something so large was kept undiscovered until now.

this is pretty old news. Lake Vostok was discovered in 1977 :/

If there was anything to be discovered, it has been.

They didn't drill in to the lake :3


Also this

Well that throws a hole in my research :o
I am suddenly a lot more interested in this, lol.

Lololol, why does this sound like a huge copy of the "lost city", Oh wait...It is.

So basicly, we have ourselves a big extraterrestrial forest under a big sheet of ice, well that's a new way of hiding from missiles.

Could be interesting. I for one am glad that we're discovering things and that things are happening. It's easy to get caught up in the shit and forget that the world can actually be exciting at times.

In relation to what we might find down there, fish at best. I'm expecting bacteria and or some other forms of microscopic life, but other than that I can't see much. But hey, what's to say we don't find raptu- something more interesting?

I'd think there may be a new breed of seaweed or bacteria down there at best.
Maybe some ancient artefact from an ancient civilization if we're lucky.
