I have been following all the antarctica stuff, and it seems that an info blackout is in place. The whole vostok situation seems a lot like the gulf situation

some good reads, that are as of today, still being updated

Thread: Antarctica and its Volcanism and Vostok (Page 4)

Thread: All Eyes on Lake Vostok...To Be Breached Today!!! (Page 16)

Thread: Lake Vostok challenge..Find me some news about the drilling..seems to be a blackout for a week

Thread: Lake Vostok and Rainbow City are in the same location!!!!! (Page 4)

this got my attention (rainbow city thread) posted by an AC

"I did a search for Vostok this morning and clicked on a weather site [link to www.wunderground.com] This is what I saw, with the statement in red, exactly as I'm copying here from a saved screenshot:
Vostok, Antarctica
12:09 AM VOST on January 29, 2012 (GMT +0600)
Elev: 3420 m
Lon: 106.9° E
Lat: 78.4° S
Rapid Fire Updates™
Updated 6 hr 11 min 24 sec ago - This station is not reporting!

The message in red is gone now. Since I don't follow this weather site, perhaps it's a common occurrence, but it got my attention"

I wonder if the blew up the station like DWH?
(and released the fresh water augie)

BHD, any news from down under?
