More info
[edit]This had to start somewhere, so here it is. It would be great if someone with detailed knowledge of this could add some useful information. --Apyule 13:02, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Clarifications Needed
[edit]Thanks for "starting somewhere" but this article still contains many terms that may not be understood by the average reader. If you know more about the subject, please clarify, bearing in mind that an encyclopedia is for those who are learning, not those who know the material already:
- temperature gradient
- floating level
- ground threshold
- hydrostatic seal
- floating line
- grounding line
- equipotential surface
Also,
- a 1 m rise in the ice surface at the ice rim is as efficient in accomplishing what? as a 10 m rise in the bed level
And,
- In Lake Vostok the ice rim has been estimated to a mere 7 m
What is the significance of this? Why the word "mere", suggesting that this is unusual or maybe even extreme? 72.208.56.42 (talk) 16:19, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
An additional query - does anyone have a reference to the "map published in 2009" ? Stephen (talk) 19:33, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
Broken links
[edit]The following links were broken: Date Pinned Down for Ancient Antarctic Flood
Subglacial Antarctic Lake Environments Program Office
Subglacial Lake Research and Exploration
But I didn't feel like deleting them entirely.
And the link to "The Exploration of Subglacial Lake Ellsworth" was a redirect page so I updated it. 99.9.112.31 (talk) 18:51, 1 August 2011 (UTC)NotWillDecker
Europa
[edit]Aside from the section about Jupiter's moon Europa being completely unsourced, I've also never heard any talk of "lakes" there. Subsurface ocean, yes. Lakes, no.--172.190.218.18 (talk) 05:35, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

First suggested?
[edit]The Lake_Vostok article says: "Russian scientist Peter Kropotkin first proposed the idea of fresh water under Antarctic ice sheets at the end of the 19th century"
This contradicts what this one says: "Subglacial lakes in Antarctica were first suggested by Oswald and Robin (1973)" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.211.212.241 (talk) 20:54, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
