There is optimism that microbial life in the lake may be possible despite high pressure, constant cold, low nutrient input, potentially high oxygen concentration and an absence of sunlight. These arms have been known to continue to move and act in the creatures interest even after being severed from the main body. Subscribe to our free newsletter and join our subscribers. [73], The original drilling technique employed by the Russians involved the use of Freon and kerosene to lubricate the borehole and prevent it from collapsing and freezing over; 60 short tons (54t) of these chemicals have been used thus far on the ice above Lake Vostok. The waters of Vostok have been isolated for at least 15 million years. APs of power can be assigned to parts. "[63], In January 2015, the Russian press stated that Russian scientists have made a new "clean" borehole into Lake Vostok using a special 50-kilogram probe that collected about 1 liter of water not adulterated by the antifreezing fluid. Only with more grasping sucker covered arms. The station after which the lake is named commemorates the Vostok (), the 900-ton sloop-of-war ship sailed by one of the discoverers of Antarctica, Russian explorer Admiral Fabian von Bellingshausen. Fluid Form represents the octopuss extreme ductility it is Always On, does not reduce the octopuss STR, does not allow splitting into separate parts, and does not add to the OV/RV versus most Physical Attacks, instead only adding to RV versus blunt impacts (-3 FC total). The carefully laid trap was successful in securing the beast, but one of the arms managed to grasp Dr. Kalashnik.

The assumption is that the lake has been sealed from the surface since the ice sheet was formed 15 million years ago. Microbiologist David Pearce of the University of Northumbria in Newcastle, UK, stated that the DNA could simply be contamination from the drilling process, and not representative of Lake Vostok itself. The lake has at least 22 cavities of liquid water, averaging 10 kilometers (6mi) each.[22]. Chameleon can be used to mimic marine life and flora. Dr. Anton Padalka claims to have been part of the first scientistific expedition to explore the lake. Perhaps Organism 46-B is familiar to the Atlanteans, either directly or through their own legends. Marcus also regularly appears as an expert on radio talk shows including Troubled Minds and Unexplained Radio discussing these topics. Incidentally, this operation alone took over a decade to complete. This octopus-like entity would prove to be elusive, deceptive, and deadly. Vostok Station, established by the Soviets in 1957, was discovered to have been sited atop a vast body of liquid water beneath the ice in 1974, subsequently named Lake Vostok after the station. Or Hoax? As you might imagine, this type of lockdown creates suspicion. It most closely resembles a massive 10 meter (33 foot) octopus with a total of 14 arms. [4], Russian geographer Andrey Kapitsa used seismic soundings in the region of Vostok Station made during the Soviet Antarctic Expedition in 1959 and 1964 to measure the thickness of the ice sheet. Dubbed Lake Carter, the Americans have leaped upon this discovery, sending out an expedition to drill through the ice sheet and probe the mysteries of the maddeningly deep abyss Organism 46b A few extra resources If you're going to run this scenario, go ahead and listen to the "Organism 46b" episode of The Cryptid Keeper. This seems unlikely given the pressure caused by the ice. The largest of these i It is also able to paralyze prey from a distance of up to 150 feet by releasing its venom into the water. The lake is named after Vostok Station, which in turn is named after the Vostok (), a sloop-of-war, which means "East" in Russian. Even this discovery is disputed by some experts who believe the sample was contaminated by the drilling methods. A joint Russian, French, and United States team drilled and analyzed the core, which is 3,623m (11,886ft) long. [25] Because of varying water pressure in individual lakes, large subsurface rivers may suddenly form and then force large amounts of water through the solid ice. We encountered Organism 46-B on day one as we were conducting a preliminary dive in our low-temperature [dry suits]. The team found 3,507 unique gene sequences, and approximately 94% of the sequences were from bacteria and 6% were from Eukarya. After 30 years of ice core drilling, the research team finally breached through to the lake on the 5th of February 2012. Kropotkin's theory was further developed by Russian glaciologist I. [1] According to the head of Russian Antarctic Expeditions, Valery Lukin, new equipment was developed by researchers at the Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute that would ensure the lake remains uncontaminated upon intrusion. Moreover, the extreme pressures would have made many parts of this implausible. [25], Africa separated from Antarctica around 160million years ago, followed by the Indian subcontinent, in the early Cretaceous (about 125 million years ago). It will use creative tactics to ambush its prey or to render its victims helpless before it strikes. It disabled our radio - which we later learned, to our alarm, was intentional.

If we were not all PHDs, I fear it would have in the end outwitted us.. Also, all of the lab procedures were performed in parallel with ice samples from Lake Erie, and the two resulting data sets were completely different. This resulted in an estimate that the entire volume of the lake is replaced every 13,300years its effective mean residence time.[30]. Thus there would be no contact with any toxins in the water. . Organism 46-B is said to be an enormous 33ft-long, 14-tentacled squid-like aquatic creature which lived in Lake Vostok, a subglacial lake located under two miles of ice beneath Vostok Station in the Antarctic. If They Are Not Aliens? Marcus Lowth is a writer with a love for UFOs, aliens, and the Ancient Astronaut Theory, to the paranormal, general conspiracies, and unsolved mysteries. According to official accounts, the Russians did reach the water level with a core sample hole drilled into Lake Vostok in 2012, however it was not big enough to accommodate a person. The deepest SCUBA diver ever was a little over 1000 feet, at which the pressure is roughly 32 bar. ", Later, while diving in the lake, the group were attacked, the creature releasing its venom into the water which took hold of one of of them, then killing and eating him. I also went with Chameleon over Color since the mechanics are clearer with the Chameleon power (including the values to check to see through the disguise). [75], Some environmentalist groups remain unconvinced by these arguments. Required fields are marked *. The contamination possibility has been refuted by Scott Rogers, because the control measures were rigorous, and the combinations of organisms found in each of the ice samples were consistent with organisms living in a cold lake and ice (including a sequence from an Antarctic rock cod), and were inconsistent with contamination introduced while sampling or from the lab procedures. Growth is always on and already figured into the stats.

[72] The main concern is that the lake could become contaminated with the antifreeze that the Russians used to keep the bore hole from refreezing. She used an axe to sever the arm of the creature, but the severed limb pulled the axe away from her. According to Padalka it has the ability to paralyze with its venom. Some of the theories were bordering on outlandish. We do not aim to prove nordisprove any of the theories, cases, or reports. Suspicion which only increases among such events as the 2016 international gathering of world political and religious leaders [3] in the area. A much more menacing form then has ever been encountered perhaps ever before! Largely because it appears to emulate the potential conditions of somewhere much further afield. For example, ice core drilling typically produces a passage only a few inches in diameter, certainly not large enough to transport a person through two miles of ice, never mind a tank capable of containing a 33-foot long aquatic creature. Regeneration is physical damage only , but allows regrowth of lost limbs. This Mega-Octopus is a guardian of such an artifact similar to the Karathen. By the time the closest scientist had realised what it was it had grabbed him and torn him to bits.. But according to Dr Anton Padalalka who fled from Russia to Switzerland in 2016 seeking asylum reported a far more different tale of events that had occurred. By the time the crew member had resumed the form of the octopus (46B) that it actually was, the biologist had been ripped to pieces by this deadly creature. later the arm returned to strangle the reasercher in her sleep.After this Dr Anton decided he had to capture the creature and that it would be one of the most important discoveries in human history and Apparently he did just that. These certainly are strange-looking animals. Dr. Anton Padalka was part of the 8-person team sent to explore and catalog the lifeforms in Lake Vostok. This is due to the completely sealed-off, under the ice environment, that contains fresh water beneath the surface. The primary issues with DCI (decompression illness) stem from us having lungs and not gills, and breathing pressurized air at depth which expands as you rise. var pfHeaderImgUrl = '';var pfHeaderTagline = '';var pfdisableClickToDel = 0;var pfHideImages = 0;var pfImageDisplayStyle = 'block';var pfDisablePDF = 0;var pfDisableEmail = 0;var pfDisablePrint = 0;var pfCustomCSS = '';var pfEncodeImages = 0;var pfShowHiddenContent = 0;var pfBtVersion='2';(function(){var js,pf;pf=document.createElement('script');pf.type='text/javascript';pf.src='//cdn.printfriendly.com/printfriendly.js';document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(pf)})(); This species is reputedly a previously undiscovered predator from under the ice in Lake Vostok, Antarctica. These can be used to smell and taste in addition to grasping, aiding in the tracking of prey. Organism 46-B was an enormous 33ft long, 14-tentacled squid-like creature which lived in Lake . A. Zotikov, who wrote his PhD thesis on this subject in 1967. Underneath Antarctica's miles of ice, you'll find approximately 400 subglacial lakes. [58] They found that the basal ice contained an almost completely different community of organisms compared to those found in the lake accretion ice, indicating that they signified two completely different ecosystems. [12][13][14] A new borehole was drilled and an allegedly pristine water sample was obtained in January 2015. The expedition chief, A.M. Yelagin decided they would need a plan to capture the creature. The location as described in the story is more consistent with the hidden subterranean realms of speculative fiction and pulp novels than the actual Lake Vostok described by scientists. The environment is believed to be super saturated with nitrogen and oxygen, roughly 50 times that of normal freshwater lakes. The reasercher traped Organism 46-B in a container and returned it to the surface where the Russians took it statight to Putin at the time ruler of Russia and coverd the whole thing up.so Real or Fake ??? Regeneration is usable for physical damage only. Although male octopuses have been known to rip off their own arm that serves as their sex organ and give it to the female. Removal of the drill would lower the pressure beneath it, drawing water into the hole to be left to freeze, creating a plug of ice in the bottom of the hole. [67] It was predicted that the water would rise 3040 m in the bottom part of the borehole, but in fact the water rose from the lake to a height of more than 500m. In October of that same year, the work was suspended for that southern summer because of insufficient funding by the federal Russian government. SKIP TO 00:17:00 TO GET TO THE STORY Welcome to Episode 109: Lake Vostok & Organism 46-B! Because Lake Vostok may contain an environment sealed off below the ice for millions of years, the conditions could resemble those of ice-covered oceans hypothesized to exist on Jupiter's moon Europa,[12][15] and Saturn's moon Enceladus. You should read this article with an open mind and come to a conclusion yourself. [3] The existence of a subglacial lake in the Vostok region was first suggested by Russian geographer Andrey Kapitsa based on seismic soundings made during the Soviet Antarctic Expeditions in 1959 and 1964 to measure the thickness of the ice sheet. Split is mental tasks only and contingent on Extra Limb. If this crude oil seeps upward via fractures, conduits, or porous sedimentary rock layers, it may pool up at the surface. In Cthulhu Mythos, Arkhams Miskatonic University sent an expedition to Antarctica over a mysterious mountain range dubbed The Mountains of Madness.The mountains were actually walls to a massive city of ruins. [19] In 1991, Jeff Ridley, a remote sensing specialist with the Mullard Space Science Laboratory at University College London, directed the ERS-1 satellite to turn its high-frequency array toward the center of the Antarctic ice cap. Photograph of a real-world glass octopus. horrifying and stranger than fiction but all to believable given the right circumstances.Dr Anton the Soviet defector explained they entered the Lake one by one via an elevator placed in the borehole.They set up a makeshift camp along the shore and enterd the lake to dive around and see what they could discover.unfortunately they had all to quickly the Killer dubed Organism 46B.Organism 46B a 33ft Octopus with 14 arms, extremely high intelligence, the ability to mimic and camouflage and a paralizing venom release by its inc sack.it wasn't long before Organism 46b had paralyzed a reasercher and then tore him to pieces whilst devouring them.Organism 46-B then displayed its extremely high intelligence by disabling the reaserchers radio and communication equipment.on the reaserchers next dive and encounter of Organism 46b. Some species of octopus lay 200,000 eggs, imagine if they were deposited in reservoirs and lakes across North America, he feared. Therefore, any life found there has likely developed along an independent evolutionary path from organisms elsewhere on Earth.

Weighing in at close to a ton, it is on par with the largest cephalopods ever known to live in the deep. These are able to put prey into a trance-like state before being killed and consumed. [47] Instead of drilling all the way into the water, they said they would stop just above it when a sensor on the thermal drill detected free water. [21] It has been confirmed that the lake contains large amounts of liquid water under the more than 3-kilometer-thick (1.9mi) ice cap. With some tweaks to represent Organism 46-Bs human level intelligence and its unique abilities. 2. [36][44], Researchers working at Vostok Station produced one of the world's longest ice cores in 1998. While their previous work indicated the presence of bacteria that inhabit fish intestines, no sequences from fish were found. 2020 Urban Water Management Plan & Water Shortage Contingency Plan. Both Russian and British scientists would continue this work, and such a watery environment was confirmed in 1993. One of those critical of the activity was researcher and author, Steve Quayle. The story seems to combine the abilities of all the different octopuses and squids (some octopuses do actually release paralytic toxins along with mucus from their ink sac). As scientists in other fields learned more about Jupiter and its moons, specifically Europa, the findings in the Antarctic region of Lake Vostok, came flooding to the forefront of their minds. The Russian government has denied all knowledge of these claims. It was capped to prevent potential contamination of the samples. The surface of this fresh water lake is approximately 4,000m (13,100ft) under the surface of the ice, which places it at approximately 500m (1,600ft) below sea level. Organisim 46 B Killer Squid from Lake Vostok the Subglacial lake.Ok guys so just like most conspiracy theories this is going to get a little complicated so just bear with me.Lake Vostok was only discovered in 1974 after the Russian Soviet had established a research station above it in 1967.once the Russians had discovered there was a fresh water subglacial Lake some 4000 meters (2 miles) below them, they began a 30 year long drilling operation to drill to the fresh water Lake that was aptly named after the Russian research station Lake Vostok.In 2015 news articles started to circulate about a team of Russian Reasrchers who had gone missing on an expedition down to the subglacial Lake. It disabled our radio, which we later learned to our alarm, was intentional. -Dr. Anton Padalka, An organism that grows best at low temperatures, Species (alien, humanoids, variant humans). [54][55] According to him, this indicates that the lake below the ice is not sterile but contains a unique ecosystem.

The primary issues with DCI (decompression illness) stem from us having lungs and not gills, and breathing pressurized air at depth which expands as you rise. var pfHeaderImgUrl = '';var pfHeaderTagline = '';var pfdisableClickToDel = 0;var pfHideImages = 0;var pfImageDisplayStyle = 'block';var pfDisablePDF = 0;var pfDisableEmail = 0;var pfDisablePrint = 0;var pfCustomCSS = '';var pfEncodeImages = 0;var pfShowHiddenContent = 0;var pfBtVersion='2';(function(){var js,pf;pf=document.createElement('script');pf.type='text/javascript';pf.src='//cdn.printfriendly.com/printfriendly.js';document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(pf)})(); This species is reputedly a previously undiscovered predator from under the ice in Lake Vostok, Antarctica. These can be used to smell and taste in addition to grasping, aiding in the tracking of prey. Organism 46-B was an enormous 33ft long, 14-tentacled squid-like creature which lived in Lake . A. Zotikov, who wrote his PhD thesis on this subject in 1967. Underneath Antarctica's miles of ice, you'll find approximately 400 subglacial lakes. [58] They found that the basal ice contained an almost completely different community of organisms compared to those found in the lake accretion ice, indicating that they signified two completely different ecosystems. [12][13][14] A new borehole was drilled and an allegedly pristine water sample was obtained in January 2015. The expedition chief, A.M. Yelagin decided they would need a plan to capture the creature. The location as described in the story is more consistent with the hidden subterranean realms of speculative fiction and pulp novels than the actual Lake Vostok described by scientists. The environment is believed to be super saturated with nitrogen and oxygen, roughly 50 times that of normal freshwater lakes. The reasercher traped Organism 46-B in a container and returned it to the surface where the Russians took it statight to Putin at the time ruler of Russia and coverd the whole thing up.so Real or Fake ??? Regeneration is usable for physical damage only. Although male octopuses have been known to rip off their own arm that serves as their sex organ and give it to the female. Removal of the drill would lower the pressure beneath it, drawing water into the hole to be left to freeze, creating a plug of ice in the bottom of the hole. [67] It was predicted that the water would rise 3040 m in the bottom part of the borehole, but in fact the water rose from the lake to a height of more than 500m. In October of that same year, the work was suspended for that southern summer because of insufficient funding by the federal Russian government. SKIP TO 00:17:00 TO GET TO THE STORY Welcome to Episode 109: Lake Vostok & Organism 46-B! Because Lake Vostok may contain an environment sealed off below the ice for millions of years, the conditions could resemble those of ice-covered oceans hypothesized to exist on Jupiter's moon Europa,[12][15] and Saturn's moon Enceladus. You should read this article with an open mind and come to a conclusion yourself. [3] The existence of a subglacial lake in the Vostok region was first suggested by Russian geographer Andrey Kapitsa based on seismic soundings made during the Soviet Antarctic Expeditions in 1959 and 1964 to measure the thickness of the ice sheet. Split is mental tasks only and contingent on Extra Limb. If this crude oil seeps upward via fractures, conduits, or porous sedimentary rock layers, it may pool up at the surface. In Cthulhu Mythos, Arkhams Miskatonic University sent an expedition to Antarctica over a mysterious mountain range dubbed The Mountains of Madness.The mountains were actually walls to a massive city of ruins. [19] In 1991, Jeff Ridley, a remote sensing specialist with the Mullard Space Science Laboratory at University College London, directed the ERS-1 satellite to turn its high-frequency array toward the center of the Antarctic ice cap. Photograph of a real-world glass octopus. horrifying and stranger than fiction but all to believable given the right circumstances.Dr Anton the Soviet defector explained they entered the Lake one by one via an elevator placed in the borehole.They set up a makeshift camp along the shore and enterd the lake to dive around and see what they could discover.unfortunately they had all to quickly the Killer dubed Organism 46B.Organism 46B a 33ft Octopus with 14 arms, extremely high intelligence, the ability to mimic and camouflage and a paralizing venom release by its inc sack.it wasn't long before Organism 46b had paralyzed a reasercher and then tore him to pieces whilst devouring them.Organism 46-B then displayed its extremely high intelligence by disabling the reaserchers radio and communication equipment.on the reaserchers next dive and encounter of Organism 46b. Some species of octopus lay 200,000 eggs, imagine if they were deposited in reservoirs and lakes across North America, he feared. Therefore, any life found there has likely developed along an independent evolutionary path from organisms elsewhere on Earth. North America (Minus Mexico and Caribbean), Mysterious Creatures: A Guide to Cryptozoology, Cumberland Spaceman (Solway Firth Spaceman), Pterosaurs and Pterodactyls in Cryptozoology, The Buru, Giant Lizards and Giant Crocodiles, The Death Dealing Tree of the Phillippines, The Mysterious Giant Snake Of North-Africa, Titanoboa and largest snakes of the world. Weighing in at close to a ton, it is on par with the largest cephalopods ever known to live in the deep. These are able to put prey into a trance-like state before being killed and consumed. [47] Instead of drilling all the way into the water, they said they would stop just above it when a sensor on the thermal drill detected free water. [21] It has been confirmed that the lake contains large amounts of liquid water under the more than 3-kilometer-thick (1.9mi) ice cap. With some tweaks to represent Organism 46-Bs human level intelligence and its unique abilities. 2. [36][44], Researchers working at Vostok Station produced one of the world's longest ice cores in 1998. While their previous work indicated the presence of bacteria that inhabit fish intestines, no sequences from fish were found. 2020 Urban Water Management Plan & Water Shortage Contingency Plan. Both Russian and British scientists would continue this work, and such a watery environment was confirmed in 1993. One of those critical of the activity was researcher and author, Steve Quayle. The story seems to combine the abilities of all the different octopuses and squids (some octopuses do actually release paralytic toxins along with mucus from their ink sac). As scientists in other fields learned more about Jupiter and its moons, specifically Europa, the findings in the Antarctic region of Lake Vostok, came flooding to the forefront of their minds. The Russian government has denied all knowledge of these claims. It was capped to prevent potential contamination of the samples. The surface of this fresh water lake is approximately 4,000m (13,100ft) under the surface of the ice, which places it at approximately 500m (1,600ft) below sea level. Organisim 46 B Killer Squid from Lake Vostok the Subglacial lake.Ok guys so just like most conspiracy theories this is going to get a little complicated so just bear with me.Lake Vostok was only discovered in 1974 after the Russian Soviet had established a research station above it in 1967.once the Russians had discovered there was a fresh water subglacial Lake some 4000 meters (2 miles) below them, they began a 30 year long drilling operation to drill to the fresh water Lake that was aptly named after the Russian research station Lake Vostok.In 2015 news articles started to circulate about a team of Russian Reasrchers who had gone missing on an expedition down to the subglacial Lake. It disabled our radio, which we later learned to our alarm, was intentional. -Dr. Anton Padalka, An organism that grows best at low temperatures, Species (alien, humanoids, variant humans). [54][55] According to him, this indicates that the lake below the ice is not sterile but contains a unique ecosystem.
