NOW the Daily Mall has switched from the alien angle to that other tabloid staple: hidden Nazi treasures. It ignores the fact that a submarine leaving Germany in April of 1945 would have arrived in Antarctica in the dead of winter, at which point the continent is surrounded by ice sheets for dozens (hundreds?) of miles in all directions.
Anything they left in an "ice cave" went to the bottom of the sea with the next summer's thaw.
(Or the sub and its crew hung around for six to eight months, it being so easy to resupply and refuel a hidden submarine.)

Russian scientists reach lake under Antarctica

MOSCOW — After more than two decades of drilling in Antarctica, Russian scientists have reached the surface of a gigantic freshwater lake hidden under miles of ice for some 20 million years — a lake that may hold life from the distant past and clues to the search for life on other planets.
Reaching Lake Vostok is a major discovery avidly anticipated by scientists around the world hoping that it may allow a glimpse into microbial life forms, not visible to the naked eye, that existed before the Ice Age. It may also provide precious material that would help look for life on the ice-crusted moons of Jupiter and Saturn or under Mars' polar ice caps where conditions could be similar.

We know from The Thing that aliens frozen in the Antarctic are able to assume the shape of whatever host they inhabit. So when the Russians return, how will we know they are really the Russians?
Won't we have to incinerate them with flame throwers to know for sure?
