Lake Vida

OverviewIntroductionCompositionHydrologyGeologyNatural historyHistoryLife

Lake Vida is a hypersaline lake in Victoria Valley, the northernmost of the large McMurdo Dry Valleys, on the continent of Antarctica. It is isolated under year-round ice cover, and is considerably more saline than seawater. It came to public attention in 2002 when microbes frozen in its ice cover for more than 2,800 years were successfully thawed and reanimated.

A life less ordinary: looking under the surface of Lake Vida

Clues from Lake Vida''s unusual brine chemistry – such as the presence of laughing gas and hydrogen – suggest the energy comes from chemical reactions between the brine and the underlying rocks.

Although Lake Vida has not been isolated for nearly as long as the subglacial lakes, the discovery of diverse microbial life below its ice is significant in its own right, says Martin Siegert, a

sustainability of life in Lake Vida: 1. Given time scales of exponential decay, the organic resources at -13.4 C would be degraded within 100s-few 1000 yrs. 2. The system is severely limited (resource, toxin, or temperature) and low metabolic rates are sustained by autochthonous resources. 3. There is an external supplemental energy

Vida Energy

Vida Energy is one of Sweden''s largest biofuel players and leads the Group''s efforts in the bio-energy market. We take advantage of the by-products that result from felling and processing in the sawmills by converting these into renewable energy in the form of energy-efficient products such as whole tree chips, stemwood chips and pellets.
