If it has never been penetrated then why do they sound so sure of the oxygen concentration?

There is a Clive Cussler novel in there somewhere! ;-) It begins 14 Million years ago in an alien outpost in tropical Antarctica. The deadly pathogens are contained and the aliens plunge the planet into an ice age to seal them for ever. But...

Maybe they think there is oil under there and this is an excuse to drill?

The conditions in Lake Vostok are very similar to the conditions on Europa and EnceladusReally? I'd like to see the core samples proving it.

Haven’t they been “preparing to penetrate” for several years?

This has been a controversey for some time because the moment it’s penetrated, it becomes contaminated. They’ve been trying to work out how best to examine it for a while. It’s too bad the Russians are in charge, because I’m sure it will be a messy project.

It's also oligotropic, meaning that it's supersaturated with oxygen And why is that, I wonder.

Why not just wait a few years for it to thaw on it's own. It shouldn't be long according to global warming adherents.

What kind of camera will they put on the lance as what do they hope to see in blackness unless they also are able to light the area up?
