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.
The Antarctic is the world's largest and coldest desert, since a desert is defined as an area receiving less than 250 mm or 10 inches of precipitation per year. The Antarctic desert covers 13.9 million square kilometres. The coldest temperature ever reached in Antarctica was -89Â°C (-129Â°F) on 21 July 1983 at Vostok Station.
