There was a thread here on ATS about secret nazi maps that the soviets found after the war. There was one very detailed and realistic looking map for submarines to get to some place underneath the ice. Who knows...

That's an interesting GUESS, but to repeat it like it is some kind of fact is just absurd and denies reason. 20 Million Years Old... I would guess less than 7000 all total!

So we have a secret Nazi base in Antarctica?

Sure hope The Avengers are around....

I am interested in what that magnetic anomaly is under the lake. I got a feeling we will never be told..

Well Hitler was obsessed with Ets maybe there is something there that is not from our world. Hitler;s sign that was on everything was a symbol about ETs He was in high command back then and he belived there was something out there I know he was nuts but,maybe he knew something He would have been let in on those sort of secrets. also The NSA sopposely blocked a part of lake vostok off I wonder what is under there.What If it really is somethiing not from our world We may never know....

so did they dig through yet?

2nd

afaik, they are just sealing it until next season.

Sot a crashed mothership or alien base as some people claim.. Would be nice for fantasy to mix with reality, but most likely not..lol

The area is volcanic in nature and old Lava flows that travelled down through the valley, collected and cooled. Most of these deposites were Iron ore and other metalic substances, all magnetised by the volcanic activity. It formed a Dam at one end that eventually filled and then froze over. The magnetic field generates enough heat to keep the lake in a liquid state. Most likey, there are still life forms living in the waters down there, sealed off from the rst of the world.

No aliens and no Nazi Bases I'm afraid.. If there were, do you think tptb would have let them get that far and that close, with the public being informed and the world looking on.. (don't you think if there was something special there, it would be a covert op).... If the russians have a detailed Nazi map of an ice base, there would be no drilling there at all..

Common sense folks pls...

The world wasn't looking on? There were no web cams - not even a large amount of people. You had a small group providing almost nothing in terms of communications. How do we know they didn't ALREADY drill there? It took something like 30 years, which I find strange. All they are going to do is scope up water. I want a video of the lake.

Why worry about a bunch of nitrogen and oxygen at the surface of a submerged lake.....? Many would say, "Nitrogen is inert, and is ~80% of our atmosphere..." But , Oxygen content has varied dramatically over the last 300 Million years.... why should we care ....? Well.... back when this lake was on the surface, the atmosphere was not the same as it was today.....

Wikpedia entry via Stanford University Note:
“Why does an explosive explode?”
Well, Nitrogen is an inert gas and enters into chemical bonds with great difficulty and remains there with reluctance.
In other words the Nitrogen in a molecule introduces an element of instability to the molecule and,
given the right stimulus, the bonds are easily broken thus releasing the stored energy therein. The instability produced by the presence of the Nitrogen is absolutely essential otherwise the substance could not be shocked into exploding. This is why explosives explode, because of the presence of that instability. The Nitrogen provides another very important function. They keep the oxidisers and oxidisees apart (if the chemists willallow me to get away with these terms). It is very possible that there are primeval condition , that once exposed, could produce an effect that is not in the books.....

Those f**king Russians better not screw this up... I swear... they're so cavalier and stupid trying to one-up Americans... but this is SCIENCE, it's not about ANYBODY'S country, it's bigger than that.

Perhaps we need to start a huge campaign to stop this and promote a meeting/consensus amongst scientists about the best course of action for drilling into Vostok??

I think it's too late to start anything to tell them to stop! They've been on the verge of this for a while now, and last anyone heard from them they were only 40 miles from breaking through! They are in Antarctica, you can't just call them up, or start on online petition to tell them to stop!

I think they have already broke through and found something, I just hope that something .... isn't The Thing!!!!

I've read a comic book Batman vs Aliens. The Aliens are encased in Antarctica like the AVP movie. The Thing(I think Starcraft copied it) + Aliens = Hive Mind from Dawn of War. So does that mean we are going to fight the Hive Swarm on ground?

i have only one question...why the hell is fox news all over this? shouldnt the russian media be ontop of this?

...no word on the two other Antarctic lakes (admittedly not as large) being drilled into by the British and Americans. Vostok takes precedence, it seems.
