All Eyes on Lake Vostok...To Be Breached Today!!!

Wow, why such nastiness OP?

No nastiness intended, you both talking chinese new year.

What does that have to do with this thread?

Op when am i going to see some new life? or at least some Russians swimming in untouched water?

The CME poster was only pointing out a coincidence. Is this not a conspiracy theory site? The russians are about the breach this iced over lake and interestingly we will be bombarded with the material from the huge CME of the 19th. there could be something here. Perhaps the neutrinos that have been iced over for millions of years will mutate from the CME material that will now be able to enter the lake due to the hole the Russians have made.

Well, I don't know. I'll tell ya what though, I'm gonna dream of a virgin lake infested with gorgeous woman and I don't care if they speak Russian or Portuguese.

That's my kinda lake!





gnight!

I have no words for that theory.

Peace!

microbiologists? Is like when they were excited because they found germs on Mars? Or are they looking for something bigger I wonder. And, while were at it, just as Adam was created "old" so was the earth. That is how we are the seeming discrepancy between what science says and the bible. Whatever is there is no older than man at the most.

There looking for the metal disc that's down there.

Any news...????

a little analysis on the news story

"Visit the international delegation at the station. Vostok (Antarctica)

“ROSHYDROMET seems to be Russia's version of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), or perhaps NOAA's National Weather Service; but ROSHYDROMET also seems to perform functions that in the U.S. would be performed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and perhaps other U.S. agencies. Their mission statement is described here, and they are described in a Russian-language Wikipedia entry.

“April 16 – On our way back from Barneo, meeting a few friends at Longyearbyen airport, waiting for their turn to go to the North Pole (they will take the same Antonov plane we landed with): Michel Rocard, ex-Prime Minister of France and now Ambassador for the Poles (he was signatory of the Antarctic Treaty and is a key player in the protection of the Arctic), Laurent Mayet (his advisor), both invited to the North Pole by the Russians. Also got a chance to chat with Jean-Bernard Schmidt (fellow venture capitalist and adventurer - at right on photo), who could not be part of our earlier expedition but will now join Ben, our guide extraordinaire, in Barneo for his own turn at reaching the pole (with friend Patrick de Giovanni).”

maybe the clue to what is going on is in who is down there

dr

bump for new info.

no news yet?

they gotta be moving inches per hour

dr

more like cm/h... Either they did break through, and something's up, and not letting any info out, or there all dead. (from the radiation, new alien bacteria, or the disc took them.)

Got to be getting close. The way they are doing it is good. [link to www.popsci.com]

thanks for posting....interesting......but provokes more questions than it answers....

Thanks dr for taking the time to look into that.

Update!

I sent an email to Professor John Priscu at the Department of Land Resources & Environmental Sciences.

He wrote one of the articles that I had read about Lake Vostok.

Here is my email with his reply:

What a magnificent lake it is! I have had a keen interest in this lake for a long time.



I read your piece on Lake Vostok and wanted to clarify what the procedure will be once they breach Lake Vostok.



From what I read they will attempt to breach the lake this week, let it freeze, and then gather samples next year.



Is this correct?



And also, why are they waiting a year to collect ice samples. Why the wait?



How close are they, many articles , but no updates.



Your time in this subject and reply is greatly appreciated.

His Reply:

XXXXX,



The Russian program is now making detailed measurements of the borehole and should enter the lake within the next few weeks—they are moving very cautiously, as you may expect. Their borehole measurements will tell them exactly how close to the lake they are—but based on past data, they should be around 20-30 m from the water.



You are correct, they plan to let lake water rise up the borehole and freeze in overwinter. They will then go back the following season and take cores of the lake ice that entered the borehole the previous season—they have to wait a year to allow the lake water to freeze.

So, with that, it's going to be a year before we know whats in there.

The black goo from the X Files must have got them.

I keep reading different theories about how old the ice shelves are. From 4th century BC on up to 15 million years.

I dunno...

Interesting little article here.

"The United States and the Russian Federation will send a joint team to inspect foreign stations, installations and equipment in Antarctica from January 23 to January 28, 2012. The inspection will be conducted pursuant to the Antarctic Treaty of 1959 and its Environmental Protocol. The State Department and the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs will co-lead the inspection, which is the first joint inspection conducted by either country."



I think the US wants a peek at how things may be going in Vostok. This is the first time they have done this and coupled with the fact that the Russians are going to breach the lake very soon. Not a coincidence.

I've read some very scary scenario's...if there is more pressure than they handle once they breach Vostok.

Any new news???? We are just left hanging?

Or perhaps, you are a barking fucking loonbat nutjob. This is a conspiracy site, but that doesn't mean that you should post every single batshit loony idea that pops into your pea sized brain. I think I lost a few brain cells reading this theory of yours.

"they have to wait a year to let the lake water freeze in the bore hole".......what a crock of stewed bullshit!!!

that lake water should be frozen solid in 20-30 minutes

I kinda thought the same thing..

What they meant to say was.. "We will take a lot of samples & let it freeze over, go back to the lab, analyze them and then come back next year and take some more." Fix it for them.

The State Department?! That's Hillary!

LOL, now this is getting very interesting. Where Hillary goes, corruption, screwups, violations, depravity, theft, destruction and things that completely outrage all of humanity are sure to be found. Which means of course, that they've already broken through the ice, taken samples, violated everything possible to violate, insulted and ravaged some ETs, gotten into several firefights, had their asses blown away, pissed off a Galactic entourage, polluted the lake, and brought humanity to the brink of interstellar war. And now the idiot is part of a joint mission to try to smooth things over before humanity gets vaporized.

In other word, the usual.

They are going to find evidence of many wars and natural disasters !
