After years of drilling, Russian scientists have finally managed to reach down to reveal a unique sub-glacial lake. The scientists drilled 12,362 feet to reach the sub-glacial Antarctic lake, Vostok, which has been sealed for the past 20 million years. Explorers hope the lake could reveal new forms of life, and show how life evolved before the ice age. The discovery of the hidden lakes of ...
