Antarctica averages minus 55°C at Vostok Station, yet a lake remains liquid beneath four kilometres of ice
Lake Vostok, a massive body of water, lies four kilometers beneath Antarctic ice. This subglacial lake remains liquid due to insulating ice and geothermal heat. Its existence challenges our understanding of life’s extreme limits and nature’s magic. The lake has been isolated from the atmosphere for millions of years. Scientists continue to study this unique environment and its potential inhabitants.
