Глубокие подледниковые озера Антарктики представляют собой фактически не исследованную водную среду, изучение которой дает возможность получить уникальную информацию об эволюции микроорганизмов, климате Земли в прошлом и формировании антарктического ледяного покрова. Подледниковое озеро Цилинь, обнаруженное средствами дистанционного зондирования в центральной части Земли Принцессы Елизаветы в Восточной Антарктиде, является одним из идеальных объектов для предстоящих исследований. Длина озера оценивается в 42 км, а площадь — в 370 км2, что делает его одним из крупнейших подледниковых озер в Антарктиде. Озеро предположительно является изолированным и покрыто льдом средней толщины около 3600 м. В настоящее время в Китае начаты научно-исследовательские работы по разработке системы глубокого бурения с горячей водой для экологически чистого доступа к этому озеру. Предлагаемая буровая система включает в себя восемь подсистем: (1) первичный контур нагрева горячей воды, (2) вторичный контур нагрева горячей воды, (3) систему механической и биологической очистки горячей воды, (4) спуско-подъемное оборудование, (5) забойное оборудование c гидравлической насадкой, (6) систему рециркуляции воды, (7) электрические генераторы и (8) систему контроля и управления. В статье представлены общая концепция системы экологически чистого глубокого бурения с горячей водой и краткое описание стратегии бурения. Бурение скважины доступа к озеру запланировано на сезон 2026/27 г.

Deep Antarctic subglacial lakes represent physically unexplored aquatic environments, the investigation of which may provide unique information about microbial evolution, past climate of the Earth, and formation of the Antarctic ice sheet. Subglacial Lake Qilin identified in the middle part of the Princess Elizabeth Land is recognized as one of the ideal lakes for upcoming exploration. Currently, R&D work to develop a deep hot water drilling system to access this lake has been started in China, and the paper presents a general concept of the system and the brief description of the drilling strategy. Access drilling to the lake is planned for the season 2026/27.
