Lake Vostok .. Virgin lake and a mystery land ..

Will this virgin lake buried under antartican ice for 20 million years change human perception of life on earth ? World is eagerly watching what unfolds in the bext few months ..

From Huffington Post: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/06/lake-vostok-antarctica-russians-penetrated_n_1258440.html




First traces of human life appeared on planet earth around 2.5 million years back and the first migration of humans outside of Africa happened about  55,000 years back.

The virgin waters of Lake Vostok have not been touched for almost 20 million years !! To reach the lake Russians have been drilling for the past 20 years for a depth of 4 kms...

Terribly excited to find what the lake has in store to surprise people of the world with .. Unknown forms of life at temp of -100C.

The pollution from Kerosene (used as antifreeze) and freon (as cleaning agent) is a cause of concern for everyone..
