Now known as Lake Vostok, this huge body of water is locatedunder the ice block that comprises Antarctica. The lake is able to exist in its unfrozen state beneath this block of icebecause its waters are warned by geothermal heat from the earth's core. This thick glacier above Lake Vostokactually insulates it from frigid temperatures (the lowest ever recorded on Earth) on the surface.The lake was first discovered in the 1970s while research team was conducting an aerial survey of the area. Radiowaves from the survey equipment penetrated the ice and revealed body of water of indeterminate size. It was notuntil much more recently that data collected by satellite made scientists aware of the tremendous size of the lake;satellite-borne radar detected an extremely flat region where the ice remains level because it is floating on the waterof the lake.The discovery of such huge fresh water lake trapped under Antarctica is of interest to the scientific communitybecause of the potential that the lake contains ancient microbes that have survived for thousands upon thousands ofyears, unaffected by factors such as nuclear fallout and elevated ultraviolet light that have conducting research on thelake in such harsh climate and in the problems associated with obtaining uncontaminated sampled from the lakewithout actually exposing the lake to contamination.
