Lake Vostok

Lake Vostok

Lake Vostok is a large subglacial lake that rests beneath Vostok Station in Antarctica. The lake sits approximately 3,500 meters above sea level, and it rests 4,000 meters beneath Antarctica's surface.

In 2012, a core ice sample was recovered from the lake and research soon began to provide a paleoclimatic record going back 400,000 years. Abstergo Industries hoped that the research would provide insight into Isu life.
