Lake Vostok in Antarctica is a sub-glacial lake, located about 4,000 meters or 13,000 feet below the ice sheet that covers the continent.So there is no 'day' in Lake Vostok; it's too far below the surface to effectively be lit by daylight.The Russian scientific station -- called Vostok, lies over Lake Vostok -- is located at about 77 degrees South Latitude. When the sun rises at that latitude for the first day after about four months of no sunrise, the sun rises above the horizon for about 20 minutes. That, then, could be called the shortest day(light) at Vostok.
