Option 1

 * Article title
 * Subglacial lake


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is in need of restructuring, addition and expansion of some sections, additional citations, and better integration with the other information about subglacial lakes on Wikipedia. It provides a useful background on subglacial lake physical properties that can be expanded to subjects other than freezing points and hydrostatic seals. The section on early work on subglacial lakes can be mostly left as-is, and the second part of that section can be broken out into a history of specific expeditions and their results. Sections on lake biogeochemistry and life can be added. Overall, the article is underdeveloped.
 * The article is a C-class, mid-developed part of multiple Wikiprojects.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Perennially ice-covered lakes


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article does not yet exist. Current Wikipedia resources on the topic include a stub articles on Lake Hoare, Lake Fryxell, and lake Bonney. None of these articles discuss lake biogeochemistry or microbiology. There is a well-developed article for Lake Untersee that discusses the biogeochemistry and microbiology specific to that lake.
