Russian scientists drill into Antarctic lake buried under the ice for 20 million years, amid extraordinary claims the Nazis may have got there first Drilling successful as scientists break through into lake buried miles under Antarctic ice Lake could have 'unique life forms' say scientists News agency claims that hidden Nazi stronghold nearby could contain Hitler's archives Described as 'unassailable fortress for the Fuhrer' - and could contain Hitler and Eva Braun's remains, says agency Lake has had no contact with man-made pollutants or Earthly life forms for millions of years Vostok Station in Antarctica is among the coldest and most hostile places on Earth The scientists broke through into the underground lake at 3,768 metres - but a Russian News Agency claims that there may be further surprises from the mission Russian scientists have finally drilled down through four kilometres of Antarctic ice to a lake that has been sealed for the last 20 million years. Veteran Antarctic researcher Professor John Priscu says that he expects to see 'unique organisms' in the lake. But it was revealed this may not be the only surprise from sub-glacial Lake Vostok, a body of water as large as Lake Ontario. As scientists began the search for new life, a state-run news agency in Russia claimed that an extraordinary cache of Hitler's archives may be buried in a secret Nazi ice bunker near the spot where yesterday's breakthrough was made. ‘It is thought that towards the end of the Second World War, the Nazis moved to the South Pole and started constructing a base at Lake Vostok,’ claimed RIA Novosti, the Russian state news agency. It cited Admiral Karl Dontiz in 1943 saying ‘Germany's submarine fleet is proud that it created an unassailable fortress for the Fuehrer on the other end of the world’, in Antarctica. According to German naval archives, months after the Nazis surrendered to the Allies in April 1945, a U-530 submarine arrived at the South Pole from the Port of Kiel. The crew are rumoured to have constructed a still undiscovered ice cave ‘and supposedly stored several boxes of relics from the Third Reich, including Hitler's secret files’. A later claim was that a U-977 submarine delivered remains of Hitler and Eva Braun to Antarctica in the hope they could be cloned from their DNA. The submariners then went to Argentina to surrender, it was claimed.
