Lakes under Antarctica - reference to Fingerprints of the Gods

For those who have read "The Fingerprints of the Gods" this will remind you of the maps and what not of antarctica being a lush non ice land not too long ago

For those who have not read it, read it...

I also thought of Fingerprints of the Gods when seeing this article. It will be very interesting to see what they find down there.

I think the fact that many maps of a non ice covered Antarctica exist should be more public and make people crazy excited...if I were working in that field and had some pull it would...because it defies what is common "knowledge" - saying that Antarctica has been ice covered for hundreds of thousands of years or what have you....maps only a few hundred years old show it being green and lush....or maybe since those maps were made of older maps, it means that people or something/someone has been around for thousands of years...ie longer than commonly thought 10k years or so....either way...its fuckin sweet and intriguing

makes you wonder why they haven't told us what they found...youd think as soon as the drilling is done they would be like...looks like water..a lot of it..or this is where megatron has been frozen..or there are massive buildings here

Well, the hole is 2.5 miles deep, so I'm not sure if they have even been able to get men down there yet. But you would think they would be able to send a camera or something. Apparently the water under this ice has been isolated for hundreds of thousands of years. if there's life down there, it's going to be ...different.

do they say the glaciers completely isolated the lakes? as in the glaciers rose from the ground up so there is no way ocean creatures could have got in? if so..thats a completely self sustaining eco system...
