“but there is also a LARGE MAGNETIC ANOMALY right below that entire area.”
That’s probably why they’re interested.
Early research into Lake Vostok indicated that the body of water had a depth of 2,000 feet - far deeper than any of the Great Lakes and half as deep as Asia’s Lake Baikal (5,000 feet) - a length of 300 miles and a width of 50 miles. Contrary to what was initially believed, the lake received filtered light.
Further investigations also detected the existence of geothermal sources which warmed the lake to an astonishing 50 degrees Fahrenheit, with “hot spots” of up to 65 degrees. Given these new discoveries regarding solar radiation and temperature, scientists suggested the possibility that the lake’s encapsulated atmosphere purified itself through a complex interaction with water, and that the chances for vegetable life forms were very good.
Scientists had expected to find magnetic anomalies in the range of 500 to 600 nanoteslas in areas where volcanic material could be located, but the ranges encountered were simply startling.
“This anomaly is so large that it cannot be the product of a daily change in the magnetic field,” stated Michael Studinger, one of the researchers involved in the mapping endeavor.
Also significant was the sheer size of the anomaly: 65 by 46 square miles.
