Lake Vida

Lake Vida is an ice-covered super-concentrated saltwater endorheic lake located in Victoria Valley, one of the McMurdo Dry Valleys in Antarctica. The lake, one of the largest in the dry valleys, remains liquid because it is seven times saltier than sea water.

Researchers discovered the lake, along with 2,800-year-old microorganisms, under nineteen metres of ice.
