So those intrepid Russian scientists have finally reached Lake Vostok that lies buried about 3.5 kilometres beneath the Antarctic. I really just wanted to share this with y'all as I find stuff like this incredibly exciting (I'm a science geek without any real knowledge of science), but for discussion value:
What do YOU think lies underneath the ice? Using your imagination (<-- bolded for emphasis) earns you a Amazing Cookie [+1 Internet].
I'm thinking alien spaceships, a dinosaur, or a microbe that will turn us all into the zombies. Boring I know. What's your fanciful (or not) suggestion?
EDIT: Aw crap, I accidentally posted this in the wrong forum. Mod help please?
