The Environment / Re: What's wrong with this Lake Vostok report?
« on: 10/02/2012 08:50:00 »
I just had another look at the newspaper report following the link
http://www.smh.com.au/technology/sci-tech/its-like-exploring-another-planet-russians-reach-antarctic-lake-in-scientific-coup-20120209-1rkc2.html#ixzz1ly0wFBdY
The original para in question:
"The Russian team hit the lake Sunday at the depth of 12,366 feet (3769 metres) about 800 miles (1300 kilometres) southeast of the South Pole in the central part of the continent."
Has been edited to read:
"The Russian team hit the lake on Sunday at a depth of 3769 metres about 1300 kilometres from the South Pole in the central part of the continent."
I don't know when the correction happened, but pleased it did.
Cheers
