Antarctica’s hidden Lake Vostok found to teem with life

Ice samples from just above the lake, which has been buried under 2 miles of ice for 15 million years, include DNA from a wide range of bacteria and single cell organisms. Some of the bacteria is generally found in the digestive tracts of fish, leading to speculation that there might be fish in the lake (though I wonder if the fishgut bugs just evolved to survive on their own).
