Deep Canadian mine
yields ancient water
By Jonathan Amos Science correspondent, BBC News
Water drilled from rock in a North American mine is among
the oldest yet found on Earth, say scientists. Novel dating techniques used by
the Canadian and UK team suggest the fluid is at least 1.5 billion years old. The
water was probably once on the surface and then percolated through the ground
where it became trapped at a depth of 2.4km.The discovery, made under Timmins,
Ontario, is reported in this
week's edition of the journal Nature.Although far from any light source,
particular types of micro-organism could survive in the water - it has the
right chemistry; it is rich in dissolved gases like hydrogen and methane.

I found this from last
summer. I wonder if there will be more sightings this summer.

Guys claim to see lake monster.
“We’ve seen it, there’s no doubt about that” says Andreas Solvik to NRK.no.Together
with his friends Finn Nyhammer and Arvid Otterdal he was out on Lake Hornindal
in Sogn & Fjordane on a short trip Wednesday this week.All of a sudden they
became aware of some ripples in the water, Fjordingen newspaper writes.For
decades there has been talk about the existence of a lake monster in Lake
Hornindal, which is the deepest lake in Europe. At the deepest it’s 514 meter
to the bottom and many people have wondered over the years what can be hiding
in its depths.
