Raiders of the Lost Lake

[125gJoe]

...the lonely lake has been sealed beneath the ice for at least 500,000 years, but possibly as much as 25 million.

...insights into the lake's anatomy, such as its lack of salt, and its absurd overabundance of oxygen; under extreme pressures oxygen will more readily dissolve in water.

Wow!

To dig or not to dig.
That is the question...

Personally I think we should leave it alone...but that will not happen because once we know it's there we have to know how, why, what and all that soooo it will be "probed" and most likely destroyed. It is so cool to find out about things like this but at the same time I wish we just wouldn't find it, cause once it's found we end up destroying it:headshake2:

I agree Lady G. My first instinct is to just let it be. But with so many mad scientists out there coupled with the nature of human curiousity, the lake will most likely be "raided" which will be sad if it gets polluted in the process and even sadder if something ominous like a life threatening virus is released.
