Re: "Lost World" of Lake Vida

[http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap040404.html]*Very interesting; "...might contain an ecosystem completely separate from our own."

-and-  "Their existence bolsters speculation that similar microorganisms could be found in frozen brine beneath the surface of Mars."  (I nearly posted this in the "Water on Mars" thread, but decided to put it here).

Also mentions "Lake Vostok"; check the links, etc.

This will be very interesting to follow.
