>>>Prepare to explore the original lake of 20 million years old
This information made the public breathe after many days of speculation about the condition of the drill team, when they had to race against time to reach Vostok ice lake with 20 million years old in Antarctica, or to force have to wait another year and try again a second time. Due to the extreme weather, Vostok is almost out of human reach with a completely unfamiliar life, to the extent that the scientific community has named this lake 'alien' lake .

Fox News was the first company to reflect on the "terrifying silence" from Russia's drilling team. 'No words from the scene for the past 5 days , ' said Professor John Priscu, Department of Ecology at the University of Montana (USA), who heads a similar Antarctic expedition program.
He also explained what happened to the moisture inside the eyes, nose and throat of the exploration team at the extreme temperature of Antarctica.'When you are outdoors, the air is terribly cold, minus 30, minus 40 degrees C. If you open your eyes, the liquid inside your eyes will start to freeze. Two nostrils also began to freeze. Moisture in the mouth also freezes' .
The situation became more intense when the ISS Station received the SOS signal from the 'missing' drill team .
'What they are doing is very, very difficult and nobody has ever dared to think, let alone try it before , ' Professor Priscu commented.
With what is happening at Lake Vostok, an old hypothesis about the Germans built a secret base since the 1930s was reopened. This 'alien' lake has only been discovered since 1996 and this first trial was delayed for two years due to unfavorable weather and technology conditions.
