Russian scientists were the first signs of pure water ice of a subglacial lake
in Antarctica during the drilling of the Arctic and Antarctic Research
Institute, said.In February 2012, after decades of drilling, Russian scientists were finally able to penetrate the ice sheet of Antarctica, at a depth of about 3.7 km east of the lake to reveal the secret that had been sealed there for the last 20 million years.
The researchers hope that the East, which is the largest network of buried glacial lake in Antarctica, as well as one of the largest lakes in the world, can reveal new life forms and show how life evolved before the ice age.
The scientists studied water samples obtained before, when drilled deep into the back of the lake in 2012, but did not know they were samples of the lake water, instead of water to the inside a glacier above the lake.
