It is now realised that this ice acts as an insulating blanket which traps heat from the Earth‘s core, melting the base of the ice sheet. ‘We now know there are more than 100 lakes like Lake Vostok in the Antarctic,‘ said Martin Siegert, professor of geography at Bristol University. ‘However, Vostok is the oldest, biggest and most important.‘ Research suggests the lake was formed when ice started to build up on the Antarctic mainland around 16 million years ago when the continent was affected by as yet poorly understood climate changes. ‘The lake is a time capsule that goes back to the period when the continent started to freeze over,‘ added Ellis–Evans. ‘The microbes that live in it could be invaluable in telling us how life survives the change from a greenhouse into an ice house.‘ Lake Vostok also interests astronomers because its waters are thought to be similar to those on Europa, a moon of Jupiter that has an ocean covered with ice that is kilometres thick.
