There is a hidden continent under the ice cap of Antarctica. Ground-penetrating radar established the existence of hundreds of lakes on this continent.

Because of pressure exerted by the ice, these lakes are not frozen. They are liquid, containing freshwater that has been isolated for at least 15 million years.

The largest of these is Lake Vostok, covered by a glacier two miles thick. On top of the ice sits the Russian Vostok Research Station. It took ten years for the Soviets to drill a vertical tunnel in the ice in which a special elevator was built, designed to hold a single man.

In the elliptical drill bit finally reached, down the eastern shore of the lake. A team of eight men was lowered to the original surface of the continent, one man at a time.

What followed was a closely guarded state secret, until a Russian scientist defected to the West. Anton Padalka was a member of the Soviet research team.

He became a defector after learning his government had military plans for a discovery made in Antarctica. Granted sanctuary in Switzerland, Dr.

Padalka disclosed the existence of a life form native to Lake Vostok… a strange and lethal creature designated as Organism B.

During a scuba dive for which they required low-temperature wetsuits, the creature was encountered on day one of the expedition.

Organism 46b is a species of a giant octopus, but with 14 arms rather than eight. But 46b can do one thing that its smaller cousin cannot.

It can paralyze from a distance of feet because its venom is contained in the sac that is normally used for expelling ink. Expedition member Alexis Vindogradov, the radio operator, was dispatched in this way, and the radio was lost.

The Mimic physically changes its form to resemble one of fifteen other aquatic species, such as a lionfish, or a sea snake, or a jellyfish.

Again organism B takes this ability one step further. Padalka witnessed the creature in the shape of a human diver. They thought it was a member of the team swimming toward them.

The scientist nearest to the creature, a marine biologist, became the second researcher to lose his life when the organism resumed its shape and ripped him to pieces.

At this point, the expedition chief, A. Yelagin, decided to use a specimen tank to capture the organism.

The only female member of the team, Dr. As you might imagine, this type of lockdown creates suspicion. Suspicion which only increases among such events as the international gathering of world political and religious leaders in the area.

We will come back to this later. More recently, apparent whistleblower-type information has come out of Russia claiming their government, and that of others around the world, most prominently the United States, are keeping the activities in the area under absolute secrecy.

Indeed, as we know from the published experiments at Lake Vostok, there most certainly is water below under the ice.

According to this information, a specialized elevator was installed within the icy surface which allowed equally specialist and selected scientists to travel down to explore this previously unseen environment.

Incidentally, this operation alone took over a decade to complete. However, once they did venture down below the surface of the Antarctic ice, they would discover something altogether deadlier.

And potentially, something to weaponize. According to reports and leaks from a former member of the project, Dr. Anton Padalka, a discovery of a armed octopus would prove a breakthrough.

And, for one unfortunate scientist, a deadly affair. Once there, he began to divulge what he knew of the secret activities taking place at Lake Vostok.

This octopus-like entity would prove to be elusive, deceptive, and deadly. However, Organism 46B is much more evolved. According to Padalka it has the ability to paralyze with its venom.

Perhaps, though, its most remarkable ability is that of camouflage. Or more to the point, in this case, its ability to change its form altogether to mimic other creatures.

It is the sixteenth one, however, that is the most intriguing, and the grimmest. During an observation mission, Padalka and an unnamed marine biologist came across another member of their crew in the area.

Using their most agile crew member, Dr. Marta Kalashnik, as bait, the unit would eventually capture the creature. According to Padalka, though, as soon as they brought it to the surface, Russian security personnel took charge of it.

Confiscating it for security. As bizarre as the above account undoubtedly is, it is an intriguing one. Not least due to the apparent reasons for the confiscation of the strange creature.

Furthermore, as well as taking charge of the entity itself, all official press releases would completely leave out the incident.

The entrance to the facility, one that took over a decade to construct was suddenly sealed shut. What should we make of such claims?

As we have mentioned Antarctica is a subject of conspiracies of wide-reaching variety. We have examined before the claims of the secret Nazi Base , a facility that housed a plethora of highly advanced technology.

Interestingly, the first of these claims by Admiral Byrd would elude to strange disc-shaped crafts with Nazi-type markings on them.

Even stranger, within this inner Earth was another species, perhaps indigenous, perhaps extraterrestrial, but certainly not human.

Although it is extremely speculative, might we imagine that the Russian and for a time Soviet authorities are aware of some kind subaquatic species and presence?

While such incidents are certainly not unique or exclusive to Russia, several significant incidents, if we accept for a moment their absolute genuineness, have unfolded below the surface of the water.

As we mentioned earlier, in late, numerous political and religious leaders from across the globe would converge on Antarctica. However, the reasons for this, as well as the outcome of this unique meeting, were not divulged.

Some of the theories were bordering on outlandish. The fact that there is such a lockdown around the icy continent, however, should perhaps concern us.

One of those critical of the activity was researcher and author, Steve Quayle.

Organism B was an enormous 33ft (10m) long, tentacled squid-like creature which lived in Lake Vostok, a subglacial lake located under two miles of ice beneath Vostok Station in the Antarctic. Organism 46b is a species of a giant octopus, but with 14 arms rather than eight. It shares traits of its nearest known relative, “vitreledonella richardi”, the glass octopus. But 46b can do one thing that its smaller cousin cannot. Organism B is an enormous 33ft (10m) long, tentacled squid-like creature which lived in Lake Vostok, a subglacial lake located under two miles of ice beneath Vostok Station in the Antarctic. Organism B is supposedly some 10 meter long, 14 tentacled ‘squid-like’ creature that lives in Lake Vostok. And Lake Vostok is the largest known Freshwater lake that has been found under the ice of Antarctica. Organism 46b hunts by first paralyzing its prey with venom. The strange creature seizes and dismembers prey using a powerful beak, breaking the food source i.
