Lake Vostok, Antartica: Russian scientists have been radio silent for 5 days (http://www.tweaktown.com/news/22524/lake_vostok_antartica_russian_scientists_have_been_radio_silent_for_5_days/index.html)

A group of Russian scientists plumbing the frozen Antarctic in search of a lake buried in ice for tens of millions of years have failed to respond to increasingly anxious U.S. colleagues -- and as the days creep by, the fate of the team remains unknown.

Maybe they come out at the north pole ... :p They should look there for them ... :rolleyes:

[seantimberwolf]

Sounds like someone does not want people finding what's under there.
I'm going to go on a limb and say there may be a chance there is a "secret" under there and ( puts tin foil hat on) possibally one of those ufo bases we here about? :o

I was always curious about the magnetic anomoly down there.


The evidence is a huge magnetic anomaly on the east coast of the lake's shoreline. As the first SOAR flight crossed over to the lake's east side, the magnetometer dial swung suddenly. The readings changed almost 1,000 nanotesla from the normal 60,000 nanoteslas around Vostok. A tesla is the standard measure of magnetism. link (http://www.rense.com/general9/ant.htm)


And the Mail had this to say -

aliens? :)

Seriously I hope everyones ok out there. Lots of articles covering this.

[Daft Ada]

I listened to Kevin Smith yesterday, that was about Lake Vostok and these guys, he didn't say anything about them being missing?

[ViralSpiral]

Will be keeping an eye out for this. Thanks

For anyone interested in the mysteries of Lake Vostock, here's the link (http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/the-lost-world-of-lake-vostok/) to an interesting documentary

[Daft Ada]

Ahhh! with regards to my above post, I have just found that Kevin Smith is talking about this today.
He is speculating that maybe their batteries in their satellite phone is duff,
Or maybe they had a blow out due to the immense pressure in the lake and as their drill broke through, there was a massive blow back which took them out!
and lastly he is saying maybe the owners of whatever it is in the lake that is causing the magnetic anomaly has got them :cool:

[Muzz]

Ahhh! with regards to my above post, I have just found that Kevin Smith is talking about this today.

Hi Daft Ada do you have a link to that you can share. Thanks

[Daft Ada]

Sorry I have a link to his radio site but can't share as it is by subscription, I have given a brief statement of what he is saying above though.

[Timreh]

Something big is going on over there at Lake Vostok?? I looked into it for a cpl of days mid last year and I'm sure some youtube videos about the anomally have been removed??
Apparantly the NSA took over control...

Space-Mapping Mission of Antarctica Aborted - Overruled by The NSA

RELEASE: 01-24-01

In a brief announcement today, NASA and the JPL terminated all further study of Lake Vostok in S. Antarctica. In an apparent slip of confidentiality, spokeswoman Debra Shingteller alluded to "National Security Issues" allowing the NSA to assume full control of what had been an International effort to explore a huge, under-ice lake near the Russian Vostok research station.

Ms. Shingteller was immediately led away from the podium, and an aid responded to the many further questions with the same answer: "the project has been halted due to environmental issues", and that no further releases were pending. The large crowd of press corp. were left clamoring as the officials left the stage. Ms. Shingteller has not responded to repeated attempts at contact.

The above is a report from an official JPL PR representative who attended the announcement.

The following is part of a letter written to an editor of Scientific American Magazine (who has requested anonymity). The linked photo at the end was released by NASA in Jan 2001 seemingly by mistake. It is no longer available from the official archive...


(Click below satellite images of Lake Vostok)

http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/imagenes_antartica/antartica07_01_small.jpg (http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/imagenes_antartica/antartica07_01.jpg)http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/imagenes_antartica/antartica07_02_small.jpg (http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/imagenes_antartica/antartica07_02.jpg)
Approximately 300 miles from the South Pole there is a lake, a very large lake. It is Lake Vostok. It is also located over 3/4 mile beneath the Continental Ice Sheet. The best photos of Lake Vostok are from space, where the outline is clearly visible. Current ice-penetrating radar studies indicate that the water is up to 2000 ft deep in places, and has an over-arching dome up to 1/2 mile high.

Estimates for filtered light at the lake surface indicate something like "continuous first morning light" during Antarctica's summer months. Thermograph imaging proposes an amazing 50-degree average water temperature with "hot spots" near 65 degrees. This can only be attributed to subsurface geothermal heat sources. At 300 miles long, and 50 miles wide, the encapsulated atmosphere should have the ability to cleanse itself through interaction with the lake, and possibly... plant life.

Also proposed as a possible route for atmospheric interaction with the lake's environment are what are being labeled "geothermal boils". These are thousands of bubbles in the ice sheet located in the some 200 sq. miles of "ice dunes" discovered by the late Russian scientist Ivan Toskovoi who was stationed at Vostok research base until his disappearance in March 2000. The surveyed bubbles range from a few to several hundred feet in diameter.

Quite possibly just as exciting as all of the data related so far, is the discovery through Magnetic Imaging that there is an extremely powerful source of magnetic energy located at the North end of the lake's shoreline. As of this writing, no one has suggested an explanation for the magnetic "anomaly".

As recently as February 2000, at least two international teams were planning separate probes of the lake. Both consisted of fairly similar robotic sensors that would have been lowered through shafts (to be drilled). The team based at Cambridge University, London were sponsored by the UK and US governments, and backed by NASA technology.

For reasons not clear, both programs have been shelved indefinitely, with NASA going so far as to deny any involvement, and both governments citing "environmental concerns". An independent source that visited Norway's research base some 150 miles to the East stated that a large amount of new equipment and personnel have been arriving at Russia's Vostok Station over the last six months. This is interesting considering Russia's current financial situation.

A final note is a verified dispatch out of Casey Station (AU). The pair of women adventurers who were attempting to ski across the continent last month, and were extracted by plane during the last leg of their trip, did NOT request the intervention.

Over the protests of the Australian crew at Casey, the two were airlifted via an extraordinary 48 hour flight by a USN Special Forces team out of American Samoa. According to the dispatch the women were insistent on reporting something unusual they had seen. The latest news reports have the pair resting in "seclusion".

[Daft Ada]

That's right Kevin mentioned all the above, but he also said that after the NSA pulled out the nasa people the Russians, and it is Russian territory, took over and said they will drill it and send camera's down, and they have been working on it ever since, apparently a few weeks ago they were within 40 feet of breakthrough.

[Laura Elina]

I hope they establish radio contact with the team and they're okay (who knows, maybe they have), but on a side note... I wanted to thank ViralSpiral for the link (post number 6), I just finished watching the documentary on Lake Vostok and enjoyed it tremendously, highly recommended. The same site seems to have other just as interesting documentaries as well, exploring it now.

[Daft Ada]

Apparently now, whoever it was that reported that they are out of touch with them has retracted the statement and is claiming to have never said that, looks like someone is putting the pressure on.

Yes this from another source

Contact not lost with Russian polar workers in Antarctica

ST. PETERSBURG. Feb 3 (Interfax) - The Russian Antarctic polar expedition, which conducts well-drilling operations in the subglacial Lake Vostok, is working as usual, Deputy Director of the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute Alexander Danilov told Interfax on Friday.

"Contact with them exists, is maintained, nothing happened there, everything is happening absolutely normally," Danilov said.

Contact with the Russian scientists in Lake Vostok had been lost, several media outlets said earlier, citing U.S. scientists.

[DreamsInDigital]

I'm going to be that might be the southern entrance to the internal earth. And, NSA etc doesn't want the Russians discovering it because they'd announce it to the world that "yes the earth is actually hollow." And, really blow things out of the water. One thing gets Officially questioned from the Western Orthodox Theorist "accepted history" and "accepted timeline" and then everything else, all the other lies that they've told will be questioned on a grand scale.

[Corncrake]

Thanks Muzz for posting - all very interesting. So hope the exploration team are safe and get in touch soon. Scary place to lose contact. Thanks too for the documentary Viralspiral - lots of good information. Very tempting to let my imagination take over here!
