Russian scientists reach Lake Vostok after 20 years of drilling into ice in Antarctica

Page Excerpt
Russia says it has pierced through Antarctica's frozen crust to a vast,

found in the lake's icy darkness, it may provide the best answer yet to
whether life can exist in the extreme conditions on Mars or Jupiter's moon
