• Resumen

  • Scientists have visited the moon and Mars, but there's one frontier much closer that they have only just cracked. In 2012 a Russian team finally drilled into Lake Vostok--a subglacial body of water over 500 m deep, buried under 4 km of Antarctic ice. The samples they brought up are laced with DNA, which is now being analyzed to determine whether there is life in Vostok. Here, Brahic features this lost world under Antarctica and what scientists will likely discover within the lake in 2014.
