Iceland Discovery Promotes Martian Life Hypotheses

nusratt writes "This nature.com article reports research presented at the Bioastronomy 2004 conference in Reykjavik, Iceland. 'Scientists have discovered a community of bacteria living in the lake beneath an Icelandic glacier. The chilly world provides a model of Martian terrain and may boost speculation about the red planet's potential inhabitants. This is the first unequivocal example of life in a subglacial lake. The bacteria were definitely not introduced from above'."

    Reminds me of the story in Deception point by Dan Brown, which I read a few months ago. Its not the best of the books of Brown (the "Da Vinci Code" for example is better) but entertaining.
