| Anonymous Coward User ID: 9107471 United States01/18/2012 11:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This story seems weird to me. I don't pretend to know anything about drilling at those depths but why does it take 24 hours to drill down just 2 meters in ice? I guess I could see if it were solid rock or something like that but ice? Heck my little ice auger can cut an 8" hole through 24 inches of ice in under a minute. Also, at those depths, why wouldn't the water pressure break the remaining ice at the bottom of the hole? Quoting: Hawgzilla Anyone know the answers to these questions? The water pressure will eventually help break the ice remaining at the bottom. In fact, the pressure being released has been discussed amongst the scientist who are working on this and other drillings happening in antarctica. They have hypthosiezed that pressure being released could throw off the balance of the ice sheet creating "unknown damage." Lake Vostok is not an isolated lake. There is a massive network of subterranean lakes including Vostok. But anyway.. at the end of Lake Vostok is what’s known as a gigantic masscon—a mass concentration of metal, very similar to the masscons they discovered on the Moon — a gigantic, circular-shaped, metallic object deep under the ice at the end of Lake Vostok. So between the "unknown damage" this could create and the masscon there has been quite a few delays in the prusuit of this objective. -- But it is our opinion that what they are doing now, right now, is rushed. The objectives a few are prusuing may have direct consequences to the many. disagree, its a magnetic anomoly link or its just your opinion on the cylinderical object it actually looks a lot like what ancient cities look like using that tech masscons? google doesn't even return a good def of your terms dr |
