Researchers say a massive lake may lie under the surface of Antarctica's ice sheet, possibly harboring life forms that have spent millions of years in isolation. Looking at satellite images, researchers spotted grooves in the ice, which could be evidence of a large lake beneath the surface, New Scientist reports. It would likely be smaller than the deepest and largest subsurface lake in Antartica, Lake Vostok, but researcher Martin Siegert says it's only 100 kilometers away from a research stati...
