a, Atomic force microscope image of a single bacteria, illustrating how bacteria can be identified using this device. b–d, Scanning electron microscope images showing the occurrence of rod-shaped bacteria (noted by arrows) within the accreted ice. The ice was sampled from the Vostok ice core at a depth of 3,590 m, which is about 151 m above the lake surface and 60 m below the glacial accreted ice boundary.
