Na tomto snímku kanadské sledovací družice RADARSAT vidíme jezero Vostok, které se nachází v Antarktidě.
S rozlohou 12 500 kilometrů čtverečních jde o 16. největší jezero světa, dosahuje hloubky až 600 metrů.
Jde o největší podledovcové jezero. Nachází se pod téměř 4 km silnou vrstvou ledu.

That same perspective, the realization that Earth is precious and fragile, is what drives our work closer to home.
Earth observation satellites, like the Canadian RADARSAT Constellation Mission, are quietly tracking our planet’s pulse from above.
