A rather surprising geographical feature of Antarctica is that a huge freshwater, one of the world’s largest and deepest, lies hidden there under four kilometers of ice Now known as Lake Vostok, this huge body of water is located under the ice block that comprises Antarctica The lake is able to exist in its
unfrozen state beneath this block of ice because its waters are warned by geothermal heat from the earth’s
core This thick glacier above Lake Vostok actually insulates it from frigid temperatures (the lowest ever
recorded on Earth) on the surface
The lake was first discovered in the 1970s while a research team was conducting an aerial survey of the area Radio waves from the survey equipment penetrated the ice and revealed a body of water of
indeterminate size It was not until much more recently that data collected by satellite made scientists aware
of the tremendous size of the lake; satellite-borne radar detected an extremely flat region where the ice
remains level because it is floating on the water of the lake
The discovery of such a huge fresh water lake trapped under Antarctica is of interest to the scientific
community because of the potential that the lake contains ancient microbes that have survived for thousands
upon thousands of years, unaffected by factors such as nuclear fallout and elevated ultraviolet light that have conducting research on the lake in such a harsh climate and in the problems associated with obtaining

Trang 5This oldest of American universities was founded in 1636, just sixteen years after the Pilgrims
landed at Plymouth Included in the puritan emigrants to the Massachusetts colony during this period were more than 100 graduates of England’s prestigious Oxford and Cambridge universities, and these universities graduates in the New Word were determined that their sons would have the same educational opportunities
that they themselves had had, Because of this support in the colony for an institution of higher learning, the General Court of Massachusetts appropriated 400 pounds for a college in October of 1636 and early the
following year decided on a parcel of land for the school; this land was in an area called Newetowne, which
was later renamed Cambridge after its English cousin and is the site of t he present-day university
When a young minister named John Harvard, who came from the neighboring town of Charlestowne,
died from tuberculosis in 1638, he willed half of his estate of 1,700 pounds to the fledgling college In spite
of the fact that only half of the bequest was actually paid, the General Court named the college after the
minister in appreciation for what he had done The amount of the bequest may not have been large,
particularly by today’s standard, but it was more than the General Court had found it necessary to
appropriate in order to open the college
Henry Dunster was appointed the first president of Harvard in 1640, and it should be noted that in addition to serving as president, he was also the entire faculty, with an entering freshmen class of four
