One thing not mentioned in the article is even though this may demonstrate that life CAN exist under ice sheets, I believe they failed to mention that the icy areas of our planet haven’t ALWAYS been icy. That’s not likely the case in the rest of our Solar System

Fascinating story. However, the Russkis have been researching around and in this sub-glacial "lake" for years. So scientifically speaking it is entirely possible it is technically "contaminated" in some way. (Caviar tins spring to mind.)

Also, may I remind you fellows that this is still August, and that means it is the season for a bit of journalistic leg-pulling. Remember the report on that Antarctic animal that used a 'heat-pad' on its forehead to burrow through the ice?

Just sayin'
