filled not with air but with flammable methane gas. The lake further enhances the area's beautiful winter landscape. The gas bubbles beneath the lake's ice sheet are a result of bacteria breaking ...

Under-ice CO2 and O2 variability in a freshwater lake ... Modeling the impediment of methane ebullition bubbles by seasonal lake ice. Biogeosciences 11: 6791–6811. doi: 10.5194/bg-11-6791-2014 Halsey, ...

A core of ice extracted from Antarctica had literally frozen in time the climate of the planet going back nearly 70,000 years.

Methane bubbles from their muddy depths in a way that is hard to quantify—until the first clear ice of fall captures ... methane hydrates that lie frozen under vast areas of seafloor and Arctic ...

Methane isn't just highly flammable ... But in the winter the bubbles get trapped under the ice. So when you stab the frozen surface, it releases pockets of the gas that you can then light ...

Recent research has focused on understanding the dynamics of gas bubbles released into the water column, which can transport methane to the atmosphere. This research employs various technologies ...
