NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“The Lost World of Lake Vida” is copyrighted by Thomas Nylen & Andrew Fountain (PSU), NASA, NSF. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

A lake hidden beneath 19 meters of ice and gravel has been found in Antarctica, near the bottom of the world. Lake Vida has been buried under ice for over 2,500 years. It is liquid only because of its high salt content. Scientists are now planning a mission to drill into the lake and sample it, hoping to find an ecosystem separate from our own.
