The explorers now face the question: How do we go where no one has gone before without spoiling it or bringing back some foreign virus?

 

"I feel very excited but once we do it there is no going back," Alexei Ekaikin, a scientist with the expedition said from Vostok Station. "Once you touch it, it will be touched forever."

So did they make it? The article says they had to finish by the 6th.

 

And is this where the mysterious virus that wipes out 90% of man comes from like we see in all those end of the world movies?

I used to have a girlfriend whose borehole I always hoped would freeze shut. I was never that lucky. I should have sent her to Antarctica.

 

Aaaand we have a winner! :thumbsup:

The borehole is filled with kerosene and freon to keep it from freezing. So when they do bore thru, they contaminate the lake? That makes a lot of sense.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too.

There has to be kind of seal? Did you catch how they got the Lost Squadron (P-38's) out of the ice in Greenland... IMO, that was pretty cool!

Al Gore would be very mad if I Googled it for you! Between 1942 and the early 1990's (when it was recovered piece by piece)... It seems that over 33 stories of ice (268') had formed over the planes! Wait a second, I though the earth was getting warmer and Greenlnad melting away...

 

Here you go anyway! ;-p

Embracing our inner nerd, are we?
