Using RADARSAT data of Antarctica, one can see the abandoned Russian station that is on top of a frozen Lake Vostok.

Using the RADARSAT dataset of Antarctica, we get a context of where Lake Vostok is in Antarctica. Then an image of Lake Vostok pulls out and we tour the lake, fyling over the only highway on the lake, coming to rest on a view of the abandoned Russian station.

Using the RADARSAT dataset of Antarctica, the abandoned Russian station on top of frozen Lake Vostok is visible. It is in the left section of the lake in this image.
