Layers of methane gas sit trapped below permafrost in Arctic regions, but if they’re released, it could spell trouble for the rest of the world.

Global warming is contributing to these areas thawing at an alarming rate.

Scientists offered a new explanation for the huge craters that keep appearing in Siberia. These craters, first spotted in 2012, can be more than 160 feet deep

Scientists are putting forward a new explanation for the giant exploding craters that seem to be randomly appearing in the Siberian permafrost.

These suddenly exploding craters in Siberia could be caused by a build up of hot gas and rising temperatures due to climate change.

Sudden and violent explosions have been leaving behind massive craters in the permafrost of Siberia — some nearly 70 feet wide and over 170 feet deep. The phenomenon has puzzled scientists since the first of these exploding craters were discovered in 2012. Now, a team of researchers claim to have solved the mystery. Their new […]

The explosions, which can be heard miles away, create huge craters in the Siberian north, and no one knows exactly why. Now scientists have a theory.

"The drillers heard a bubbling sound coming from the well."

Beneath an archipelago in the Arctic Ocean, scientists have detected something that could potentially impact the environment if it escapes.
