Uh-oh!

Okay. Here's the plot. Send a bunch of Russian scientists down to Antarctica to drill thousands of feet through the ice sheet to a lake far, far below the surface. A lake that last saw the light of day when all the land masses of earth formed Pangaea.

And, working under very harsh and rushed circumstances, just as they are poised to tap into that lake (call it "Lake Vostok") all contact with the team is lost. What happened? What did they release when they hit that pocket of very, very ancient water? Will they be found before the Antarctic winter rolls in once more?

It would make one heck of a movie. Except it is real.

Russian scientists seeking Lake Vostok lost in frozen 'Land of the Lost'?

Good questions.

  1. Some things were not meant to be discovered.

    Wait - isn't that a line from a movie?
