See it on NASA's siteLake Vida, buried under 19 meters of Antarctic ice for over 2,500 years, might contain an ecosystem completely separate from our own. It remains liquid due to its high salt content. Scientists are planning a mission to drill into the lake and sample its water. This hidden lake offers clues about life in extreme environments.
