Yesterday - Sunday, February 5, 2012 - Lake Vostok was finally reached.

“Yesterday [on Sunday] our scientists at the Vostok polar station in the Antarctic completed drilling at depths of 3,768 meters and reached the surface of the subglacial lake,” RIA Novosti reported, quoting an unnamed Russian scientist.

"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."


So, it seems they finally made it.
I highly doubt that Lake Vostok is 20 million years old.

I think Lake Vostok is much more recent - 12,000 years old - and I will explain why,
in a following post.
Anyway, this is great news.
I wonder what they will find, especially about the magnetic anomaly.

I highly doubt the true findings will be reported,
and I believe it will all be kept secret.


PS: I searched ATS to see if this has already been reported, but no results came out.
