I wonder if there's additional layers of ice down there. Like you break through the massive one, get into an area of no ice then reach another shell of ice. The composition of the water would need to change of course. It'd be like how sea water freezes and pours high density/salinity water down to the sea floor and as it goes down it instantly freezes everything around it because it is far colder than the normal salinity sea water.

If the water has various strata of brine or other dissolved minerals we could see things like a sea under the sea, multiple strata of ice at different depths and all manner of odd formation. As such, a single submersible "drill" may need a way to sink properly where normally it wouldn't sink into the denser "water". It may be too buoyant.
