I Cthulhu

Crazy expedition to find life in extreme places of the world. Reminds me of H.P. Lovecraft's "At the Mountains of Madness" for some reason. The extreme biting cold, with the discovery of a terrifying form of life hitherto unknown to man :)

NASA - Extremophile Hunt Begins

Antarctica's Lake Untersee, fed by glaciers, always covered with ice, and very alkaline, is one of the most unusual lakes on Earth. The upper 70 meters of lakewater is so alkaline "its pH is like strong CloroxTM," says expedition leader Richard Hoover of NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. "And to make it even more interesting, the lake's sediments produce more methane than any other natural body of water on our planet. If we find life here, it will have important implications."
