Contaminated the fuck out of the bore hole.. No way they could get conclusive results... Brits do it best!!! Camera going down, taking sample of water and then taking a core sample of the lake bed.. First results back in a week... They will probably release the results on Dec 20, telling us we all have 24 hours... |

Quoting: Steffel NESSIE lives!!! How great would it be, if when they lower the camera all it see's is a giant set of teeth headed towards it then bammm.. End of signal!! |
Sir Griffo (OP) User ID: 948899 Australia 12/10/2012 06:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Lincoln Ellsworth was born into a prominent religious family in Chicago, Illinois on May 12, 1880. His father was responsible for building one of the first skyscrapers in Chicago, the Ellsworth Building. Their spacious home at 1827 Michigan Avenue housed a library filled with first editions and an art gallery containing a collection of important pieces by famous artists, including Rembrandt's "Portrait of a Man."

Hitler's revolutionary activities in Germany landed him in prison for five years. This so called prison was 'Lenzburg Castle', a comfortable, privileged pastoral setting where Hitler was groomed for the job of' Fuhrer'. Interestingly, the owner at the time was American Lincoln Ellsworth, son of James Ellsworth, a former Banker who served as president of the Union National Bank of Chicago.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 30748580 Russia 01/03/2013 03:20 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is clearly a very disappointing time for the team who are now busy draining down the systems and preparing all the cargo for uplift – not an insignificant task. However, whilst the field season did not turn out the way we had planned, there are a number of valuable lessons we can learn from this experience which will contribute to the collective, global knowledge in hot water drilling. The consortium will now regroup and take stock of the situation. There are lessons to be learned and there is equipment to be serviced. The fundamental science questions raised by the programme remain viable, interesting and unanswered and the consortium will be preparing plans to revisit the exploration of subglacial Lake Ellsworth at some point in the future. So keep watching. This is not over yet! Finally, we would like to acknowledge everyone for the tremendous support and encouragement we have received. I know you will be as disappointed as we are about this outcome, but the enthusiasm with which you have followed our progress has been extremely uplifting for us. On behalf of the field team and the wider consortium I would like to say “thank you”. We wish you all the very best for a happy and successful 2013.
