Nonsense. There’s no ice in the Antarctic.

Just ask Algore.

Is this the same lake where the Russians discovered the intelligent octopus-like beast (Creature 46A did they call it?) that killed one of their best divers? Allegedly?

Lots of great fiction on YouTube if you look for it.

-——and experts say any life there could raise hopes of finding similar organisms deep inside Mars or on the ice-covered moons of Jupiter and Saturn.-——

Isn’t the story interesting enough on its face and not need to add ridiculous ideas like going to Jupiter or Saturn to drill deep into their surface ????

SALSA. Someone was having fun that that one. This is either a joke or a very scary movie.

Beside finding out what type of life exists down there a temperature gauge monitoring heat levels would provide any possible melt down warning.

My gastroenterologist gave me a gallon of lukewarm MiraLAX and hit what felt like the two mile mark about twelve hours later. Next time, I’m gonna freak him out and hide one of those latex chest-burster props from Alien up there the night before.
