Imagine feeling cold...
What's the background music
Probably just super salinated water
Simon: There is liquid water under Antarctica!
Nestles CEO: *nervous sweating*
One thing Simon's channels have taught me is that Russians really love their boreholes.
In Soviet Russia, bore drills you!
Am I right, Pyotr?!
@@tanglewife Touché!
Boreholes and similar principles are the only ways we have to explore (through) the deep _solids_ of our world. There other ways today of _roughly charting_ some of it, but drilling / "drilling" down is the only means of sampling and actual observation (in person or by aid of tools).
He he he, boreholes...
Russians go deep....
The fact that we have more success in exploring Mars than we do Lake Vostok shows just how difficult and remote Antarctica is.
well then should we open it up to non government companies
@@twixt999 I mean as long as they don't screw everything up,I don't see any reason,no to
@@PirateCat822 yes. great name
@@twixt999 Except they'd only be interested if they could make money off it and we're trying to sustain Antarctica
The government only access should give everyone an idea that there's stuff there we don't want being found by the public. They have a very specific understanding of history and the events that lead to our current civilizations and understanding of such. I'd guarantee there's something under the ice that would rattle the foundation of our understanding of history / civilization as a whole that they're intentionally keeping hushed.
They've found Pyramids beneath the ice, that alone is something to question. When you consider the age of the ice shelves themselves, for a megalithic man-made structure to be beneath the ice. It'd suggest we've been inhabiting earth, and intelligent, a lot longer than any historic textbook tells us. That alone is enough for them to conceal it. If we begin to question our history with evidence that they're wrong, or lying.. We begin to question everything else they've taught us.
They cannot afford to have us questioning our reality. Because we'll starting seeing it's not as they've made us believe.
"NOOO! You can't drill into the lake, it's a perfectly preserved environment!'"
Russians: "Look Sergey, drill go brrrrrrrr"
And we can pour all these toxic pollutants down there as well...
@@jamesharmer9293 as nature intended.
@@zachaliles its funny because it's apparently true
This made me laugh out loud lol on a more serious note, some Russian engineers really know what they are doing and are in some ways far superior to their western counter parts (look at soviet union rocket engines for example). But the other ways where they aren't superior is where the pouring in kerosene comes in potentially causing contamination of whole new ecosystem lol
Russian are oddly funny people almost like a different species
Lovecraft has me scared that maybe the ‘perfectly sterile’ environment would not become unsterile from being breached but instead contaminate the world. >.>
Tbh I want to find the giant blind penguins
Reminds me of an X-files episode where they drill into Arctic ice and find parisites that infect them all.
This is why I don't read of watch horror. It's not worth it.
I'm more worried about giant prehistoric critters being alive.
the only lake on the planet that doesn't contain a plastic refuse collection YET
Don't worry the Chinese are trying to be the first to have trash there as we speak
Challenge accepted.
Give it time.
We don't know that. Maybe there's alien or first civilization trash down there, perfectly preserved Z Phones
Well, we gave contamination a good, solid try with shit-tons of kerosene, apparently… because what else would you do upon finding pristine, 25 million year old water? Fuck it, there’s a hole there now; may as well drop a nuke down it.
I know what's in the subterranean lake under Antarctica. I read Mountains of Madness.
"That is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange aeons even death may die." HPL
Exactly what I was thinking the entire time too lol
Tbh I want to find the giant blind penguins
@@electricimpulse7 They'd have to be giant blind penguins with gills.
@@Devin_Stromgren I'll take what I can get
neat! I named my cat Vostok after the coldest place on earth. I heard it was also a lake but had no idea that the lake was this interesting. Vostok is also the name of the first manned space shuttle.
I watch your videos
Hey, you brought me here.
Hey, Jared.
Will pumpkin ketchup? I recently figured out it will curry very nicely.
Ok
Scientist: We've found the most pristine place on Earth! Russian: Let's see about that, hold my beer...
😎Wouldn’t that be “hold my Vodka?”
@@markkarasik2211 I was sooooo close to saying that, but then thought I would hold to the beer meme.
They wouldn't need anyone to hold it for them.
You misspelled Vodka
@@OzzyZorda Well maybe if you’d have just held my vodka while I drilled into the pristine frozen over lake my spelling would be about the same😎
Because we are incapable of leaving shit alone....and we're dead.😂😂😂😂
We find the world’s most pristine water source, and what do we do? Grab some kerosene, freon, and a contaminated drill and go to town!
this is the plot of Thing waiting to happen.
It's literally the story of "who goes there?" The novella the thing was based on. It's aight if you want a quick chilling read.
I can see clearly now the square is full
I can see all the videos it displays
And the infection spreads.
My sympathies to all who see that which should not be.
Apparently, one of the new things under the sun is "Ecclesiastes" having grown an extra syllable.
@13:38 There's a type of bacteria that lives in/feeds off of kerosene?!
I can't articulate why that freaks me out, but now that I know it, I AM freaked out a lil' bit.
@Ryoku Y There are bacteria that feed on diesel fuel and create sludge that can block fuel filters. These bacteria need water as they live in the water and feed on the fuel, so draining water condensation from fuel tanks can eliminate the problem. As for why bacteria would eat fuel, that's simple, it's a rich source of energy and they have adapted to live on it.
Kill it with 🔥!
@@Pete856 Wow--I had no idea. That's wild!
@@drummer1977 I love learning something new! Thank you for the insight :)
Bacteria are part of the reason there even is kerosene
Damn, Simon is two-timing Surf Shark… what a Capitalist!
"say what you want about (blank) but at least its not trying to co-opt your IP address" is now my favorite thing to say about any inanimate object
Lake Vostok is full of tiny penguins who are mining the ice for snowcones. :)
I am currently reading Cold Plague be Daniel Kalla, and the book opens at the submerged lake in Antarctica. What did you say about synchronicity?!
Remember what happened in the mountains of madness by H.P. Lovecraft !!!
Was just thinking that.
The music in Simon's videos are bomb. Always have been, and they always will be.
"...Ads. Who needs all that nonsense?" Said Simon in an ad.
The top comment on every video on youtube should be about, without exaggerating, the downright insane amount of advertising we have to ignore. Double ads at the start, double ads at the end, and a portion of the video itself is just an ad for a scam service that somehow convinced people it's legitimate
When you get a "free" service, your either watching a commercial or having your information recorded and sold. Otherwise nobody would pay the money to run the server that hosts this video.
Scientists - want to collect pristine samples from lake Vostok
Also scientists - let's dump a ton of highly toxic chemicals down the bore hole.
I am so curious about what's under the ice of Europa. I hope we will send a probe to check it out within my lifetime. There are number of problems that we would need to overcome exploring Europa, like high radiation and immense cold of -200'C which may mess up the probes, and how to actually melt or drill through the sourface ice cover, which could be many kilometers thick. The drill probe would have to remain connected to an antenna on the surface so that any data gathered could be sent back to Earth. And to top that off, the entire thing would have to be fully autonomous.
I'm relatively confident that once we truly get to explore Lake Vostok, we'll find some Russian's summer home down there.
Russia: consistently gets invaded during winter
Russians: move to winter 2: electric boogaloo
"There is always something new under the sun." Except Lake Vostok isn't under the sun, is it?
No, on earth, nothing is under the sun. It's all to the side of it.
@@StormCrownSr Hmm, good point, but given that 'up' is the direction opposite of gravity's pull, wouldn't that make us 'above' the sun?
@@johng6350 No, gravity pulls towards the centre.
That's why the suns are always in the middle.
Just like how Australia isn't really "down-under".
@@StormCrownSr Yes it is.
@@nodiggity9472 I don't think you understand spacial relativity.
(Where things are in space relative to each other)
Sweet! We get the graphic this time around
Marvel comics have been using Antarctica for decades. There is a special area called the SAVAGE LAND. Kazar and the X-Men have many stories based there.
Ah, I take it the graphic had been added to the blue square this time? 🤓
Huh?
@@derekg5674 This is a re-upload of a video that had been published earlier today, that had been missing some of the graphics.
What was your first clue? Seeing the graphic? Well done!
Yup
@@joshwhite5407 Thanks! I wrote it both tongue-in-cheek and several seconds after it was uploaded! Have a great day! 🤓👍
I swear I've watched this already Simon
Stop messing with us
He has a similar video on mega projects about the drilling operation, maybe that's what you are remembering
It's messed up. Stan Lee knew about the lake in Antarctica in the 80's and 90's. The X-Men go to Antarctica and meet up with tribes and dinosaurs.
Almost sounds like Jules Verne's antarctic stories, but replace the dinosaurs with a giant magnetic statue. At least one of the stories was basically commercial fanfiction, Verne working in Edgar Allen Poe's world, lol, and crediting him.
"What the fuck are you doing, Russian scientists? You're gonna contaminate the ancient lake"
"Xaxaxaxa kerosene go brrrrrr"
Behold, we have constructed a new SangriLa in Antarctica. New Schwabenlan.
4:10 Looks like a very annoyed Robot XD
love the tracks laid down on the ice showing off donut, doulies, & 4 corner barrel racing patterns! they need to give the cloverleaf a try! after all, they are the modern cavalry!
Re-upload?
I've read enough Lovecraft to know that what lies deep under that ice is best left undisturbed.
Wow! At 14:15 -- Simon's shirt matches the illustration perfectly.
Anybody else craving a big glass of ice water, after watching this?
Now that's some high quality H2O
This is the first vid ive found of yours that was found in a search for something i was looking for info on... every other time i stumbled onto your vid it was on something i hadn't heard of.. but im halfway down the rabbit hole on this lake... cant wait to hear what youve learned..
Colder than dry ice... does- does that mean there is naturally formed dry ice in Antarctica some days?
Is it something new under the sun or just something old that we haven't seen yet?
It’s all a front, there’s aliens down there. 😳
No mention on specimen 46-b?!
"There is nothing new under the sun". But the sun doesn't reach subglacial lakes.
I'd think "under the sun" doesn't mean "under the sunlight": when you're in a house at noon you're still under the sun, but when it's nighttime you're no longer under the sun even if you're outside looking at the moon which hits you with reflected sunrays.
The defined colloquial sense I propose is thus "all matter located in/on the hemisphere of the planet currently illuminated by the nearest star regardless of elevation/concealment"
Second proof is in the intent of the author stating "There is nothing new under the sun" wherein your interpretation would allow the alternate description "there is nothing in direct sunlight, but new things happen all the time while indoors" which isn't the commonly understood conveyance.
I hope you enjoyed this extremely long and pointless counterpoint; I'm bored and typing in between Warframe missions.
@@aislingvandegejuchte9818 lol
Round 2
Just leave it alone... bloody humanity!
I had to listen to the temperature part again because I had checked it and it was -128° Fahrenheit and I thought there was no way that could be right, I didn't realize we could get temperatures that cold on Earth
did you just delete and re-add this video?
and here i just watched the other version of this video. the one that had no pictures, just an empty blue square. now time to watch again but with visuals.
I wonder if that expedition got any video footage of lake vostok?
Can you do a video on the atrocities committed by the british empire please
1:50 Simon looked like he had to fight back his adhd urge to rant about Russians lol
I wouldn't mind it, I love his tangents
@@jackrotz2139 agreed lol
I love the idea that there is potentially fully fleshed ecosystems living below Antarctica, unaffected by humans and living their best life
One ticket to there please.
@@zachaliles no you'll ruin it if you go
It terrifies me because of what it can contaminate the world with
@@silverhawkscape2677 fear not: most of the planet is nothing like 4 kilometers below the surface of Antarctica. And if there is danger we've got the universe's biggest stockpile of kerosene and Freon to keep the invaders at bay...
well until we dumped that kerosene and freon on them and all that but yeah.
There is a hidden pyramid under Simons beard
One of today's facets in my usual quest for knowledge was the existence of freshwater lakes under the Antarctic ice sheet. I had perused several videos. Eventually came to the face of my old friend Simon. Dear sir, Kudos Bravo Etc. To you and all those that help you do what you do. When fact-checking(as I do) I find you to be the most correct and even more importantly in-depth then most presenters I have observed. Thank you. Peace.
I would guess that they could contain many small crab like creatures which survive on little oxygen and have a very slow metabolism. probably some kind of tiny worm looking things too.
Kingdom of the invertebrates
One of your best, most informativo videos! Great. 👍🏻
FANTASTIC episode Simon. Thank you 👍🏻
this happens because of pressure from all that ice
The elites don't want to mess up their drinking water
Oh damn, "Today I found out" is talking about this now!?!?!
Still say the background music is distracting.
It was here, then gone and then back again.
Pumping the borehole full of FREON? That's got to be in violation of some treaty or other.
Glad someone got this video squared away
Yay! Someone fixed it
I’m rewatching the Video just to see what I missed in the Graphic Square the first time… Nicely played Simon.
I have never been this early to a youtube video before Huzzah
I wish I knew how much a kilometer was!
You can type it into a search engine; enter "500 km in miles" (without the quotes) and most search engines will tell you. Or if you want the numbers, there's a hair under 1.61 kilometers in a mile, or a bit more than 1½ if you're just watching a video and don't want to get the calculator out.
Man you could make such a good movie outta the concept of the island in one of the under ice lakes science team explores the island creatures come outta the water borehole transport gets destroyed and they die fighting to the death or tryin to escape or one person gets left alive as bait for them to lure the rescue team or somethin for a sequel
>Brain Blaze users also watch this channel
>Me having found Business Blaze FROM this channel. I guess TH-cam knows where my priorities are.
That would be one cold glass of water.
"something new under the sun"?? Its under the ice!
best water on the planet? lets pour kerosene in it bros
Nestle would like to know your coordinates
Remote sensing is something that Mulder looked into.....cheers.
If that once was land, where was all that water?
Every once in a while I remember the days when Shelly or whatever their name was was making agressive comments and community questions, and I breathe a sigh of relief knowing they're gone (or at the very least, silent).
I personally would love to explore Antarctica myself if had the money and equipment for it. Also if they ever perfected a submarine that could handle the cold and pressure would love to explore the bottom of those lakes.
You honestly think nobody don’t have the capability to do that? I’d say that naive but I know nothing and mistrust everything
@@jeffweinthal4800 “nobody don’t” is a double negative. And don’t even get me started on the grammar.
@@jeffweinthal4800 who builds a submarine for a place you can't get to and that doesn't go anywhere? Submarines are expensive and dangerous which is why almost everyone who needs one to explore someplace has to design, build, and man their own vessels.
The only wat to get a sub down there would to drill a massive hole almost all the way down, lower the sub, and the plug the hole behind it and then the sub has to drill the rest of the way. Otherwise the lake would depressurize up the hole with explosive force. Also it would most likely be a one way trip so I hope you're willing to die down there.
@@Devin_Stromgren If the Sub was properly designed could survive the trip down and come back up alive.
Scientist in 1992: Neptune’s core is negative 333 degrees and made of dark chocolate
Also scientists in 1992: there is nothing under Antarctica
Ecclesiastes is still correct. The lake is incredibly old. Let us hope the things we learn from it might help us tot keep making the same stupid mistakes we have, as a species, made for our entire history.
What type of sediments are down there they can tell a bit about it
How many channels does this guy have?
Fascinating!!
Life evolved to create its own energy!? We'd have to rewrite every science textbook if that happened. Have you ever heard of thermodynamics?
I think he meant chemical energy, like what certain bacteria do.
I certainly wish that line had been phrased better, lol!
Internet is just to fast, faster internet means the faster your Data can be coopted.
Mankind had a golden opportunity to study earth's history and it was ruined by impatience.
Take two!
Freon is a brand name not a refrigerant.
Vostok? like the watches?
"After considerable investigation and research, as experts we can conclusively state that we have no clue whatsoever how this all happened or whats down there."
It must be magic! Oh wait...we have science now, and are an advanced evolved species, so it can't be magic hehehe.... So it must be aliens.
They found sponges in one of the lakes
Bombarding you with ads...
TH-cam I am looking at you!
I thought this was VSAUCE!
Good video 👍
