Signs of Subsurface 'Alien' Life Found In Antarctica
astroengine writes: An airborne survey of a presumably dry Antarctic valley revealed a stunning and unexpected interconnected subsurface briny aquifer deep beneath the frozen tundra, a finding that not only has implications for understanding extreme habitats for life on Earth, but the potential for life elsewhere in the solar system, particularly Mars. The briny liquid — about twice as salty as seawater — was discovered about 200 miles underground in a region known as Taylor Valley. The aquifer is widespread, extending from the Ross Sea's McMurdo Sound more than 11 miles into the eastern part of valley. A second system was found connecting Taylor Glacier with the ice-cover Lake Bonney. But the survey, which covered 114 square miles, may have just uncovered the proverbial tip of the iceberg.
I remember this, and it ends with me being called an ugly bag of mostly water.
How can I believe you when you tell me what I don't want to hear?
Credulous writer interpreting "m" as miles would be my guess.
I find it very sad that you heard this story and thought "AvP" and not "The Thing." You officially need to watch more classic movies now.
Congress would certainly be more popular if they were all buried 200 miles below ground.
