It's explained quite well in the article. It took that long for the technology to come along that ensures we don't pollute this pristine ecosystem when we breach.

Because for the first two decades they were there, they didn't know a lake existed and they weren't drilling.

I think it's a reference to the opening scene of the movie 'The Thing' starring Kurt Russell. (Spoiler: It's about an alien lifeform which start infecting researchers at a polar research station)
