That’s the one. Test bed (or a lake like it) for a mission to the Jovian moon Europa to look for life under the ice in the ocean it has.

The Russians drilled into the fresh water in Vostok a couple of years ago, much to the annoyance of the international scientific community who wanted some better processes than the Russians used to avoid contamination of the water that hasn’t been in contact with the world in millions of years…

There are a bunch of lakes like it since found.
