Or, they don't know what they're doing......
The Russians have been drilling through ice for centuries.
It is a documented fact that the Russians had real problems, project stopping problems, drilling for LV.
They are documented by many articles found by searching
Russians Antarctica drilling lake Vostok
Unfortunately the 5 best looking links did not go into great detail other than to say the project had problems and stopped and re-started repeatedly...
Ice in Russia is not AA ice.
AA ice is colder, much colder. Satellites have measured -130F on the surface....
The techniques Russia used to drill through ice in the Arctic did not work.
WHY?
