Clues to alien life in Antarctica?

Recently, the Russian expedition team surpassed 12,365feet ice in the Antarctic before discovering a freshwater lake buried deep in the thick ice. Considering the similarities between Vostok underground lake and the frozen hard shell of Jupiter and Saturn, scientists are making hypotheses about the clues of alien life.

Researchers do not expect water samples from Lake Vostok to contain extraterrestrial life, although any life contained in it would be a completely different evolutionary path from what appeared on earth. The reason is because Lake Vostok is the deepest and completely isolated ice lake, cut off from the atmosphere about 14 million years. Dale Andersen - cosmologist said. If they find life there, it will be like life in the Earth growing on the same DNA structure. but there is different evolution. Its value will help us discover new environments better.

Scientists suspect that Vostok lake water is about 1 million years old and is saturated with oxygen and other times, life can exist here only as bacteria and single-celled microorganisms."Because the environment in the lake does not provide enough nutrients for life, it is very likely that life is in the ice sheets," said researcher Dale Andersen.

Currently, scientists still have not been able to fully access the samples at Vostok Lake and the research is still in the process of implementation and experimentation.
