Abstract: Lake Vostok is a giant, freshwater lake hidden below the East Antarctic ice sheet. There is some evidence that the lake may contain ancient life. Radar data now confirms that ice melts and refreezes at the base of the ice sheet in a way that encourages circulation of the water. This has implications for the survival of life in the lake.
