I think my favorite bit about Lake Vostok is the fact that an actual, real-life coalition of scientists and activists has declared that it contains Secrets Man Was Not Meant to Know. The Antarctic and Southern Ocean Coalition has asserted that "
it would be far preferable to join with other countries to penetrate a smaller and more isolated lake before re-examining whether penetration of Lake Vostok is environmentally defensible. If we are wise, the Lake will be allowed to reveal its secrets in due course."
