Secret rivers found in Antarctic

Antarctica's buried lakes are connected by a network of rivers moving water far beneath the surface, say UK scientists. It was thought the sub-glacial lakes had been completely sealed for millions of years, enabling unique species to evolve in them.

Writing in the journal Nature, experts say international plans to drill into the lakes may now have to be reviewed. Any attempts to drill into one body of water risks contaminating others.

If and when Global Warming raises the temperature of Antarctica , the theological isolation of the lakes will be compromised any way. Best to drill now , and study and record the differences of life found there. Other wise possible new discoveries could be lost given time.

That makes sense to me also.

There is no guarantee it can stay this way much longer and it the knowledge learened could be useful for examining moons in this system then I think they should go for it as fast as they can,
