Lake Vostok, a subglacial lake buried under 2.5 miles (4 km) of Antarctic ice, has been completely cut off from sunlight, the atmosphere, and the rest of Earth for millions of years - and is teeming with life. Scientists drilled down and found thousands of microscopic organisms, including bacteria, fungi, and even signs of complex life.
