Lake Vostok and Rainbow City are in the same location!!!!!

Other threads are discussing this. I don't know if it is related but thought I would post here:

Geomagnetic storm expected to hit our planet Tuesday morning.... as a rare precaution, POLAR flights on Earth are expected to be re-routed....

A little more on this trip from a post yesterday (Jan. 22) [link to wattsupwiththat.com]

"From the you’ve got to be effin kidding me department comes news of the epic journey to Antarctica.
snip
....British billionaire Richard Branson, who blogged about the trip last month. ”Today is the 100th anniversary of Roald Amundsen and his team’s successful trip to the South Pole. Next month I’m going to Antarctica with [my family] to celebrate that trip and also Capt Robert Scott (who was a relative of ours) incredible voyage there,” Branson wrote on Dec. 14. “Sadly as you know he perished on the way home. We’re going on a boat organised by Al Gore..."

18 January 2012,

Antarctic researchers are at the edge of their seats waiting for news that will merit another celebration. The centennial coincides with an expected new landmark: This week, a Russian team drilling into Lake Vostok in the center of the Antarctic continent is likely to break through the ice to water. It will be the first time that a subglacial lake has been breached.
snip
...last February, time ran out for the team and the project was stymied just 29.5 meters from its destination as winter set in. Over the summer, they modified their drill bits and now the team is back at work with plenty of time to spare.

They were supposed to break through last week and not a word since. Maybe their communications are out?

Very odd

it is through 500 to 900 miles of Earth. Admiral Richard E Byrd flew into the north pole area. Hollow Orbs is a VERY thick book that proves this is true - every page.

I agree.

The Antarctic has only two summer months with average temperatures of -27 degrees Celsius during those months of December and January. Last year, the team at Vostok station had to be flown out by February 5, before unsafe conditions prevailed.

It is now January 24. Time is running out to finish the job.

An article I read earlier stated that if the Russians failed to drill through Lake Vostok in these two months of summer, the British on the other side of Antarctica would be the first to drill into and explore a sub-glacial lake. This is scheduled for December 2012 at Lake Ellsworth.

Lake Vostok is south of Perth, Australia. Lake Ellsworth is south of Argentina.

It makes you wonder if politics or sabotage are affecting the Russian effort to be first to reach these mysterious, unexplored waters.

Of course, Lake Vostok is the most interesting because of the metal mass and legends of the Rainbow City.

Good find, you seem to have the most current and up to date info on what is going on. The Russians seem to be very hush hush on what is going on. It would not surprise me to that the Russians are already through the ice. We should know soon.

maybe that's why they're drilling there, to find rainbow city.

wonder what kinds of monsters, viruses, mutant alien people, or world changing knowledge could be down there?

Here's my guess...

"1And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.

2And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.

3And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power."

Thanks. Yes, they could well be through. The wild electrical storm in Perth is suspicious. I can't make sense of the icebreaker voyage Al Gore has arranged to take him, a few scientists, rich friends (and at least one person's family) to the Antarctic when the summer is ENDING SOON. There is something very weird about this week's launch from Argentina so late in the season.

so... they're gonna open a can of mantis whup-ass on us?

That's a great picture. 14 million years is a crock of doo doo. It was only a few thousand years ago that Antarctica was dry and livable.

Maybe.

I guess I missed something..

WTH is Rainbow City?

Me so confused!

An ancient city on Antarctica that was frozen over when God flooded the Earth. It is part of Hollow Earth lore and is said to be a home to an advance race of beings.

true....
Im pretty sure glp ers know what that is but for any that dont..

Yes, the Piri Reis map is fascinating. I wish it showed the area of Lake Vostok.

Just some thoughts on this Russian drilling project. I'm beginning to think something bad has happened. If they had successfully broke through the ice and taken samples, news would have been relayed to the world. If the equipment broke down, they would have revealed the information by now. If the expedition was "encouraged" to wait until next summer (so the British could win the race at Lake Ellsworth), Russian officials would have delivered the fake excuse by now.

The silence is deafening.

I agree that the whole thing is odd. The elite know that many answers to their questions lay burried under the ice. It does not surprise me that they have been quiet about it.

We need to send a GLP team up there.

Who's comin' with me?

The competition between these countries is fierce. To be the FIRST to drill into one of these sub-glacial lakes would be a prestigious scientific achievement (to say nothing of the other evidence we suspect they are really looking for under the ice). I'm sure a successful breach into the pristine environment would be announced promptly. No news is not good news in this particular situation.

Some other websites have discussed the risk of this drilling operation. The pressure of 4,000 m (13,100 ft) of ice could result in an explosion when popped. Another risk is the creation of a giant sinkhole as the warm water/air from Lake Vostock rushes up the drill hole, melting the sides.

To the other GLP poster - we'd have to go DOWN, DOWN, not up to take a tour at the Antarctic. A webcam would be fantastic but the secrecy of these operations would never allow it (which tells you something right there).

I think they're buying time until they figure out what to do.

This from Voice of Russia, which is the Russian government's international radio broadcasting service:

Can Antarctic ices cool global warming?

snip
At present, Russian scientists are intending to explore a lake of unfrozen water, situated under a thick layer of ice, in the Antarctic. This lake, called “Vostok”, which is the Russian for “east”, is probably the largest reservoir of water “hidden” under the ice in the Antarctic. Russian explorers are drilling a hole in the ice which covers the lake, and now, only about 20 meters are left to get to the unfrozen water.

Wrong . Earth is only 6000 years old ! Repent satan worshipers !

bump for later

From the photo on Wikipedia, the drilling rigs are just a stone's throw from the Vostok station facilities. Approximately 25 personnel are on site during the short summer.

If an accident has happened, the station may be gone. I really hope not.

Ever seen the hit televison show "LOST" remember the drilling?
That show is a map (well part of it and a big part).
When they hit bottom, everything changes from there on out. When you wake up with a nose bleed remember where you saw this.

Yes, I loved the show. I'm not a Lostie, though. The drilling - is that when the bomb was thrown in and after that, time was warped? I remember some people had nosebleeds, not all, and didn't those people die? Can you give a little summary of that event? It's been too long. I agree with you, the story had deep levels of meaning for these times.

Just a reminder to all that the Vostok station is fairly close to the magnetic south pole.

Also, the date in which the lake was the breached was in Dec. 2012 not last week.

There are tricks to the drilling not only do they not want to introduce any outside material, but they are worried about the release of the pressure. TO fix this they are drilling in multiple areas along this subglacial lake system (there are multiple lakes connected in antartica).

"British, Russian and American science teams are all trying to become the first to sample an ancient Antarctic lake. These lakes are buried under miles of ice and have been isolated from the outside world for at least 125,000 years – maybe a million years. On January 15, 2012, the British Antarctic Survey Press Office announced that a team of four engineers had successfully placed 70 British tonnes of equipment in place on the Antarctica subglacial Lake Ellsworth. The planned assault on the lake is for December 2012."

Honestly I dont think ppl get how incredibly stupid this is.
15 million years of isolation. Do you understand 15 million years?

They think they can get to the lake without contaminating it. But as soon as they open the seal air will get it and the introduction of just one bacteria could change the state of the lakes from there on out and we will never get a true reading of what we want. Its incredibly stupid IMO.
