Description
"
Vostok
refers
to the
largest
subglacial
lake
in
Antarctica.
Lake
Vostok
is
a
relatively
recent
discovery
and
preliminary
research
suggests
that
it
supports
active
micro-organisms
that
evolved
in
isolation
for
several
millions
of
years.
However
,
until
scientists
devise
a
way
to
study
this
uniquely
pristine
environment
without
contaminating
it
, its
lifeforms
remain
as
much
a
mystery
as those
beyond
our
atmosphere.
Vostok
drills
deep
to
reveal
a
trajectory
between
deep
ice
and
deep
space.
