Lake Vostok. Lake Vostok (Russian: Ð¾Ð·ÐµÑÐ¾ Ð²Ð¾ÑÑÐ¾Ðº, Ozero Vostok, lit. Lake East) is the largest of Antarctica's almost 400 known subglacial lakes. Lake Vostok is located at the southern Pole of Cold, beneath Russia's Vostok Station under the surface of the central East Antarctic Ice Sheet, which is at 3,488 m (11,444 ft) above mean sea level.
Although the ground at the South Pole is close to sea level, the thick ice at that location raises the station to an altitude of 9,300 feet (2,835 meters). And because the earth's rotation causes the atmosphere to thin out at the poles, the air pressure is more like at 11,000 feet.ntarctica is (for obvious reasons) the least-visited continent, and the South Pole is (because it is not accessible by sea) the least-visited site in Antarctica that is nominally open to tourism. Most expeditions take place in November thru January, during the Antarctic summer/day.
