  • He wasn't talking about the british expedition that was trying to drill into a lake 3km below the surface?

    That was the Antarctic.

    That was the Antarctic.

    Appreciate that, and that this is a few days old now.
    I just assumed the OP / Original engineer made a mistake.

    It made more sense than drilling on what is, effectively, a giant iceberg that mostly melts every year (as opposed to a frozen over piece of land).

    You could surely just carve that off instead of drilling into it?

    I appreciate the arctic circle does contain "actual land" but the OP specified the Arctic which i associate with the bit on / near the pole.
