WOAH: Scientists close to entering Vostok, Antarctica’s biggest subglacial lake
After drilling for two decades through more than two miles of antarctic ice, Russian scientists are on the verge of entering a vast, dark lake that hasn’t been touched by light for more than 20 million years.

Thought they were going to break through a few weeks ago? Thread was discussing it a while back along with how they were using antifreeze to keep the hole from freezing over. GG humans on polluting a 20 million year old body of water.

It depends on the drilling equipment and how quickly they can fix late failures.

i want to know more about what THIS means:

"Danger of giant geyser

Vostok, which is about the size of New Jersey, is the world’s third-largest lake by volume of water. Priscu said the gas in the lake makes it like a can of carbonated soda: Open it under high pressure, and it will spurt out.

He said the doomsday scenario for the Russian breakthrough would be if the suddenly released water pushed its way past machinery to block it and shot up the borehole, which is six to eight inches in diameter at the top. The result, he said, could be an enormous geyser that could empty a quarter of the lake. Priscu said he didn’t expect that to happen, but if it did, the sudden addition of substantial water vapor to the antarctic atmosphere could change the continent’s weather in unpredictable ways."

Who knows what can come up from there.
Ancient viruses that will kill everything ?
Wonder if the coming big event predicted for March is related.

They are stupid. They could have waited a bit and the thaw going on there would have opened it LOL
I love physics. It bonds us eternally, it's what makes our computers work, it's what's in my morning cup of coffee, it's the thing that keeps the universe from vanishing due to lack of belief...
