Has Russia found a new form of life at the bottom of an underground antarctic lake?

Has Russia found a new form of life at the bottom of an underground antarctic lake? | Mail Online: "Russian scientists believe they may have discovered new life forms sealed off for 14 millions of years in a subglacial lake deep under the Antarctic ice.

Drilling into history: Russian researchers have reached Lake Vostok, and now believe they may have found evidence of previously unseen bacterial life in water samples - although they need further research to confirm this

Scientists say the icy darkness of Lake Vostok, under some 3,700 metres of ice, may provide a glimpse of the planet before the Ice Age and clues to life on other planets."
