Re: [Phys-l] Is something wrong here?????



A quote...
"The Russian team made contact with the lake water Sunday at a depth of 12,366 feet (3,769 meters), about 800 miles (1,300 kilometers) east of the South Pole in the central part of the continent."

I expected someone to comment on this, but no one has. So, perhaps I don't understand.

It was announced a few days ago (in our local newspaper) that the Russians had drilled down and discovered a freshwater lake deep below the ice surface. The location is approximately 80 miles (or was it km ??) southeast of the South Pole.

Am I missing something here??
