Levi's : Show Us The Way. Drilling Into Antarctica's Lake Vostok Could Reveal Surprises : 13.7: Cosmos And Culture. Outer space is not the only frontier. There is also inner space, pockets of unexplored regions within our own Earth. Granted, they are becoming very scarce, at least those that are accessible by foot or by boat or by flying machine. Fortunately, there are still unexplored subsurface worlds, deep under the ocean, deep within caves, or deep under the ice.
And what lurks within them may be the stuff of our wildest dreams. A few days ago, a team of Russian scientists announced that they reached the surface of Antarctica's huge Lake Vostok, a fresh water lake buried under two-and-a-half miles of ice sheet. The Lake Vostok operation took over two decades, on and off. Lake Vostok is probably the most pristine body of water in the planet, 160 miles by 30 miles across, about the same size as Lake Ontario but with approximately three times the volume.
