The research may help in the search for life on Mars, which is thought to have subsurface lakes of ice.
17、A research team led by Peter Doran of the University of Illinois at Chicago drilled through more than 39 feet ice to collect samples of bacteria and algae. When Dorans team brought them back and warmed them up a bit, they sprang back to life.Doran said the microbes have been age-dated at 2,800 years
18、 old, but even older microbes may live deeper in the ice sheet sealing the lake, and in the briny water below the ice.

20、 Doran and his colleagues sent radar signals into the clear ice covering the lake and were surprised to find that 62 feet below there was a pool of liquid water that was about seven times more salty than seawater.That prompted the researchers to return in 1996 with equipment to drill a hole down to
21、within a few feet of the water layer. At the bottom of this hole, researchers harvested specimens of algae and bacteria.The searchers will retum in 2004 equipped with instruments that are sterilized. They will then drill through the full 62 feet of ice and sample some of the briny water from the lak
