Do you think there could be an Alien base in LAKE VOSTOK(Antarctica)? or somewhere on Earth?

Answer: No, not at all. However if you are interested in that kind of nonsense (no offence intended) then you may wish to look up the name of the place in my name - Agartha. I have it in my name for pure mythical purposes, and I don't believe it exists, but according to old Buddhist beliefs (strict buddhist beliefs that only Tibetan monks still believe in), there are openings across Asia and Southern America to an underground tunnel that leads to a city in the centre of the Earth where their is claimed to be beings who are slim build and stand 8 ft tall, and who are also super advanced - although what I just said are 'recent twists' on the old story of Agartha - according to original Buddhist beliefs it was simply a Buddhist version of the Garden Of Eden.

So what kind of nasty critters will they drag out of the Vostok lakes?

http://www.redorbit.com/news/science/1991512/scientists_race_to_breach_anarcticas_lake_vostok/index.html?source=r_science "Russian scientists are set to pierce through Antarctica’s frozen surface to reveal the secrets of an icebound lake that has been sealed deep there for the past 15 million years. " "Scientists are hoping the lake will reveal new forms of life and show how life evolved may have evolved in the times before the ice age. The lake could also offer scientists a glimpse of what conditions exist for life in similar extremes on Mars and Jupiter’s moon Europa." Whatever they drag out, I hope its nothing like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhyRpvgm03g
Answer: Most likely, just the same kind of bacteria as are found in hot spots or extreme cold conditions...thermophiles. Some bacteria have already been found in deep core drilling sites. And it's questionable as to how old the lake and ice sheet are...some samples of baceria found in the deep core holes had intact membranes which seems to show they were alive fairly recently. Ancient maps like the Piri Reis also show Antartica before it was covered in snow and ice...within human timescales. http://www.creationscience.com/onlinebook/FAQ24.html#wp4270708 " Working in separate labs, Americans David M. Karl at the University of Hawaii at Honolulu and Priscu found strong signs; both detected hundreds, in some cases thousands, of bacterial cells per milliliter of ice. Some of the bacteria had intact membranes, so “they were alive fairly recently,” Priscu says. They concluded that Lake vostok may support a viable population of microbes. In contrast, Sergey Bulat, a molecular biologist at Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute in Russia, and his French colleague Jean-Robert Petit, a glaciologist at the University of Grenoble (and lead author of the classic paper on the 420,000-year Vostok climate record), detected only a few cells per milliliter; in some specimens they found none at all. The ice was essentially “germ free.” One difference might have been in the samples: “It’s not like a mammoth bone where you saw it in half,” says Christner, a former student of Priscu’s. “Every centimeter of accreted ice represents a different zone of the lake.” More likely, the reason for the conflicting results was a difference in lab techniques. Resolution has to wait until biologists get hold of samples of the Lake vostok water itself. There was one life-form that Petit and Bulat did consider a plausible lake resident: a thermophile, or heat-loving microbe. In the Vostok core sample, they found a DNA sequence related to a bacterium that thrives in hot springs, like those in Yellowstone Park. Hot spots under the cold of Lake vostok, they suggested, could come from deep tectonic faults in its bed." http://discovermagazine.com/2007/nov/last-unexplored-place-on-earth/article_view?b_start:int=1&-C=

From Lakes Depths, Frozen Bacteria Are Brought Back to Life

Each summer, the top layer of ice on Lake Vida in Antarctica melts, releasing bacteria that revive, thrive and multiply for a few weeks before temperatures dip and they freeze back into suspended animation.

Would I be in trouble if I drilled into LAKE VOSTOK in Antarctica?

Lake vostok is a huge fresh water lake way underneath the ice in Antarctica. It is in the Russian claimed territory. The pressure from the ice above allows the lake to not freeze. The Russians were going to drill down there to get a sample from the water, but they stopped 100 yards short for unknown reasons. What if I just went down there and did it myself? Its not officially Russian soil (or anyones), and Im from the USA. Who would bust me?
Answer: The lake has been sealed for thousands if not millions of years. To drill into it risks exposing the life that is living there to untold microbes that exist outside their environment. Doing so jeopardizes the entire ecosystem. If you were reckless enough to do so, and capable of organizing such an undertaking ... having millions of dollars and access to the equipment and the personnel to do so, it is unlikely Russia, nor the US would grant you permission to go there.

If unique life is found in Lake Ellsworth (Antarctica) then how likely is alien life on Europa?

Lets say the scientists find life that has independently evolved in lake Ellsworth (or Lake vostok, for that matter) - perhaps not even structured around RNA or DNA - surely this will rocket up the chance on subterranean alien life on Europa? Sources: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/the-lost-world-beneath-the-antarctic-ice-1639247.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europa_(moon)
Answer: If, as you say, they discovered any form of life which perpetuated itself without RNA\DNA it would be the biggest scientific sensation of all time. It would only build on the suspicions of a growing body of scientists who think life is more common than we dare to hope. With the sheer number of galaxies, stars, planets etc then it's more than likely that there are billions of alien races who have existed, exist at the same time as we do now, or will exist. The sad truth is that we will likely never see them because the speed of light is immutable and the distances are too great.

Is it possible for there to be Water "Cavities" or Gaps within Antarcticas Ice?

Theortically, Can there be spaces within Antarcticas ice flow that hold water, sort of like a Lake..but not underneath he ice flow as Lake vostok is?
Answer: A big bubble of liquid water within the ice sheet? Nope. Antarctica's ice is different from Arctic ice. Arctic ice is frozen directly up and out of the sea water. The southern ice sheets, on the other hand, were deposited as layers of snow that just stayed freeing and over these tens of thousands of years have compressed themselves into what is essentially just an enormous sheet of glacial ice. It slowly flows toward the ocean every year. So - since the snow was lain down in layers and compressed into ice, there would never have been a pocket able to form that huge to hold a bubble-lake within the ice. I only qualify that size because there are very, very small bubbles in the ice that give climatologists something to do during the day - they core the ice. The bubbles don't hold liquid water, though. They hold ancient atmospheric gas, which the climatologists study. If you backed a huge tanker truck full of warm water and injected it into the ice somehow, you'd have a bubble of liquid water. It would begin to melt the ice around it, and sink, but as there's no continuous heat source, and with a definite continuous heat sink, the ice would eventually freeze solid. it would be an oddity if anyone ever noticed the structure, but there wouldn't be any liquid water. Ironically, though, it's the weight and pressure of the entire ice sheet on Lake vostok that keeps it liquid below the normal freezing point. Geothermal heat from the Earth's interior warms the bottom of the lake. The ice sheet itself insulates the lake from cold temperatures on the surface. But you couldn't have a lake bubble, even if you injected it with hot water, because that combination of conditions wouldn't be present, and it would freeze, as I said.
