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 ...

Right: Methane bubbles trapped in thermokarst lake ice. When ice-rich permafrost thaws, former tundra and forest turns into a thermokarst lake as the ground subsides. The carbon stored in the ...

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 ...

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 ...

In the summers of 2018 and 2019, an all-female team of scientists ventured to the glaciers of Iceland to research the complex interactions between glacial systems, climate change and methane ...
