Scientists To Drill To Lake Buried 2 Miles Beneath Antarctica's Ice

Scientists To Drill To Lake Buried 2 Miles Beneath Antarctica's Ice: "A team of four British engineers recently returned from a 10-day trip to a desolate, windswept plain in Antarctica, setting the stage for a project that could uncover previously unknown life that has been cut off from the world for millennia.

Scientists with the British Antarctic Survey are seeking to drill through the continent's thick covering of ice to a giant, hidden lake, cut off since before modern humans first evolved, which may house life forms invisible to human eyes. They could be unlike anything scientists have seen before."
