There's a lake that's a million years older than the surrounding landscape
Lake Vida, a 1.5 kmē lake in Antarctica, has been frozen since the ice age, with some ice cores dating back over a million years. The lake's water is stagnant and has not circulated since it was isolated from the surrounding landscape, creating a unique ecosystem with no sunlight or oxygen. The lake's extreme age has made it an important site for paleoclimatic research, with ice cores providing valuable insights into Earth's past climate conditions.
