Michael Studinger -- Antarctica's Subglacial Lakes

     Remote sensing has revealed "Lake Vostok", a body of water as large as some of the Great Lakes entirely hidden beneath 4 km of Antarctic ice. For the past few years, Michael Studinger has joined us to discuss how scientists can study the geology, hydrology, and biology of a region as inaccessible as this, and share new discoveries.

     The 25 Jan 2006 Columbia Earth Institute News featured a news release about recent discoveries of two subglacial lakes made by Michael and Robin Bell--click here for this story.
