    Default lake vostok

    Looks like the russians missed hitting the lake this season. Sure would be an interesting dive if you get into one...i understand that there are hundreds of them under the glacial ice and Vostok is the largest.

    They've drilled how far and it's still all ice?? Sure I'll dive it, but you're bringing the chainsaws!

    Is your trimix rating good to 12,396 feet? I am not sure that is accurate, because ice is lighter than water, but I suspect the pressure is still pretty high. If you still want to go, I can bring coffee. It might be a little cold, by the time I lower it over 12,000 feet
