Lake Vostok Reached
First time accepted submitter Cyberax writes "After 30 years of drilling and weeks of media attention the Antarctic underground lake Vostok has been reached by Russian scientists (translated article). Deep drilling in the vicinity of Vostok Station in Antarctica began in the 1970s, when the existence of the reservoir was not yet known. Scientists are beginning paleoclimatic studies and further exploration of the lake will continue in 2013-2014."
It turns out that the microbiological conditions of ancient lake Vostok are strikingly similar to those of early 21st century drilling mud.
The timeline altering implications of this discovery will keep scientists busy for decades!
You'd need to sober them up first. Good luck with that.
I'm assuming you are referring to Ulrich Thomsen? There is one scene where he is speaking danish rather than norwegian, but we Scandinavians tend to understand each other pretty well, so this is not a goof per se. It might very well happen in real life as well that a Danish person speaks danish to a Norwegian; in fact it happened to me less than two weeks ago, and I had no problem understanding her. The rest of the Norwegians are well-known Norwegian actors, who speak norwegian correctly.
