Wait until they drill into Lake Vostok 13,000 feet under the ice in Antarctica!
I think they'll find some very interesting things. They have come close but won't break through until they figure out a way to do it without contaminating it.
They are putting together now some sterile robot/cameras so they can procede further.

Lake Vostok is one of around 140 lakes under Antarctica, not to mention all the rivers.
