Satellite shot shows Russia's 'moon shot' ice station

By Alan Boyle



The Russians say that drilling down to a 20 million-
year-old lake in Antarctica, more than two miles
beneath the surface, is the equivalent of putting an
astronaut on the moon. If that's the case, this
satellite photo from DigitalGlobe is the equivalent
of watching Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin at
work.
