It took researches 30 years of drilling through a four-kilometer-thick ice to reach the renowned subglacial lake. Most importantly, million years-old secrets will be unveiled without causing harm to the lake’s ecosystem.


Can't wait for the reports on their findings in the next few weeks. Will keep searching for more info.

Well, i guess this debunks the "giant monster at the bottom killed the scientists theory".


Here's another article claiming Fox News was misquoted regarding the scientists.

www.usnews.com...
www.nypost.com...

The team of Russian scientists trying to uncover the prehistoric Lake Vostok miles beneath a surface of Antarctic ice are not lost, according to American Antarctic explorer John Priscu."I can assure you that they are not lost or out of contact," he wrote in an email. "I never said the Russians were lost."

Fox News reported that the team hadn't been heard from for more than five days.

"What I can tell you is that they are doing something that has never been done before—think of it, sampling a lake under 2.5 miles of ice at a location that is the highest, driest and coldest desert on our planet," he adds.

What the Russian team is trying to do is unprecedented—the waters of Lake Vostok have been left untouched beneath more than two miles of ice for more than 15 million years. Lake Vostok has been called the "most alien lake on earth," and scientists believe microscopic "extremophiles" that can survive in very low temperature and light situations might live in the water.

The Russian team was expected to bring water up through the hole and let it freeze over the winter. The following year, the team will be able to start research on what they find, Dr. John Priscu, professor of ecology at Montana State University, told FOXNews.com

If it was so important there would be news crews and the history channel would be there.

Nothing to se here people move along.

I agree. I think there will be plenty of amazing new discoveries ect found down there but i doubt tthe public will be told for a while yet. Which is a real shame. I am sooo curious about that circular mass of metal at the end of the lake.

But on second thoughts, is it not Russia that is going down there? They seem to be quite easy going when it comes to sharing new discoveries with the people... i think

I'm sorry. I did search but the recent threads I found had scientists missing, which was incorrect according to my sources in the OP. I felt the fact they actually reached the lake and that the scientists are not missing deserved it's own thread. Mods, please remove if you wish.
