A four-man team of glaciologists has begun exploring an ancient lake hidden more than 10,000-feet beneath Antarcticas ice sheet. Braving conditions in one of the coldest, most remoteplaces on Earth, the scientists plan to conduct a series replica Breitling Windrider Chrono Cockpit Men's watch of experiments on Lake Ellsworth--a body of water about 10.5 miles long and one mile wide--in hopes of discovering clues about climate change andfuture sea-level rise. First results from our experiments have shownthe lake is 105 meters deep, Dr. Andy Smith, lead glaciologist, told the online journal ScienceDaily.
This means Lake Ellsworth is a deep-water bodyand confirms the lake as an ideal site for future exploration missionsto detect microbial life and recover climate records. If the survey goes well, the team says the next phase will involve building a probe and drilling down into the lake to explore and sample the lake water. The team believes that Lake Ellsworth is particularly noteworthy because itslikely been isolated from the suce replica Breitling A133581 Men's watch for hundreds of thousandsof years and could not only provide clues about climate, but also shed new light on the movement of ice sheets and the evolution of life forms in harsh environments. Over the last decade, underground rivers and some 150 interconnected lakes hidden beneath miles of ice have been discovered in Antarctica, with one measuring nearly the same size as Lake Ontario. --Damon Tabor
