Probably the biggest mystery is evidence of a huge magnetic anomoly. Encompassing the Southwest corner of the lake, 65 X 46 miles there are indications that the geological structure changes beneath the lake. One quick theory is that this indicates a thinner crust in the surface of the continent. Another mystery is that ice core samples have proved that micro-organisms live 11,886 feet deep under the ice. That is over 2 miles down! If the ice core is drilled another 400 feet or so it will enter an pristine atmosphere sealed off for millions of years.
But if you go under the ice a couple of miles then that heat just melts the ice and makes a big lake and you cannot see the heat or facility at the surface. And there seem to be several such lakes in addition to Vostok. Lake Vostok is now the sie of Lake Erie.

Let's walk through this.
So if you build a facility a couple miles under the ice, and that facility produces heat so it melts the ice above you creating a lake....isn't the facility now underwater?
So the "Nazis" have an underwater, UFO building, facility in antarctica.
Are you sure this is the Nazis and not Cobra??? It really sounds like something Destro and Cobra Commander would put together.

That is too funny... My big question is if a group of Nazis were going to build a giant base under the ice sheet how do they get under a there? Do they dig a giant hole and then crawl in and then rebury themselves? I am confused about this... If the aliens built the base why Antarctica? If they have such advanced capabilities why don't they find a nice quiet island in the pacific? So how do they get the UFOs out?

Well if we are being completely theoretical, i do think Germany had, sadly, a very large workforce at hand. Say, they smuggle 2500 Jewish prisoners to the arctic. That is a very small number compared to the total toll of deaths, and easily hidden in the mess the Nazi`s left behind.
So, workforce is covered.
Onwards to the drilling operation itself!
What if they found a natural "cave" in the ice, built a ramshackle shelter at the opening, and drilled from there?
Such as:
I would imagine that solution to offer some shelter?
I really do not know how one would keep drilling the ice in the magnitude described, but surely mankind has done impossible things before.
Last, if i am to be completely, and absolutely mindbogglingly open minded, the food and water supply is next.
Water can be extracted. This we already know.
For the foodstuffs, i would imagine fish to be a viable solution?
Perhaps even seaweeds and other oceanic plantlife.
And no, just to be clear, i do not think there IS a base there. Merely trying too see if i my mind can fathom if it`s even possible.

Maybe there's an underwater entrance to the lake that they were aware of and they used the subs to get there..
It's quite plausiblt that there are large caves with air..
Who knows.??
