First Images From Sub Glacial Lake

Now these images don't seem like much, but if you think about it they are pretty cool. Cool not only because the lake(s) the scientist are drilling in to are pristine locations untouched and unseen for millennia, but cool also because these runs are the precursors to future trips to off world locations. For instance, Europa- which we know has a sub-ice sheet ocean- or other moons like Ganymede or Callisto, which are suspected to have oceans.


The next mission, sampling the lake for microbes.
