A Lake Deep Beneath the Ice
In February 2012, a Russian team of researchers found one of the world’s largest subglacial lakes. Underneath the Vostok research station is a fresh water lake located over 13,000 feet below the ice. The Russian team is currently planning further research trips to collect samples from the deep water source and discover if any strange forms of life exist in the lake. Some people think that there may be species living in the ancient water source that haven’t seen the light of day for thousands of years.
