Something strange is reportedly happening around Lake Vostok in Antarctica. It is said that a JPL satellite has taken images of a large dome at on end
of the lake.
In a press conference by JPL a spokeswoman commented on this, but mentioned that they had no further involvement due to the NSA taking control of the
matter.
Before the press could ask any questions, the spokeswoman was ushered away by two suited men.
Later, two Australian women, on a skiing trip to the Lake Vostok area were picked up by US Navy Seals and dumped in New Zealand by helicopter.
An alleged complaint was made by the Australian Government with the US.
Both claims are currently being looked into.

Have scientists found something other than microbes and simple organisms there?
Is the dome something to do with Vostok station, a unit where they drilled cores from the ice?

Probably the biggest mystery is evidence of a huge magnetic anomoly. Encompassing the Southwest corner of the lake, 65 X 46 miles there are
indications that the geological structure changes beneath the lake. One quick theory is that this indicates a thinner crust in the surface of the
continent. Another mystery is that ice core samples have proved that micro-organisms live 11,886 feet deep under the ice. That is over 2 miles down!
If the ice core is drilled another 400 feet or so it will enter an pristine atmosphere sealed off for millions of years. Air samples can tell
scientists a lot about our planets past. BTW, back to the ice core. Each year as the snow falls and melts and refreezes it forms a geological diary
that scientist decode and read to tell them what was happening in the worlds atmosphere going backward in time at least 400,000 years. Back to Lake
Vostok. Beneath the trapped atmosphere lies equally pristine water. Is there life there? If there is it makes one lake up and out to Europa the ice
covered moon orbiting Jupiter. Don't bet against life. I think you will lose. Beneath the water is the bed of the lake. How was this huge lake
formed? Sediment from the lake bed can provide the answers. And the deepest mystery (pun intended). Just what did cause that HUGE MAGNETIC ANOMALY?
