The Russian scientist shuffles across the frozen lake, scuffing aside ankle-deep snow until he finds a cluster of bubbles trapped under the ice. With a cigarette lighter in one hand and a knife in ...
The methane rises to the surface in great bubbles. In the case of Lake Abraham, methane’s trip to the surface often hindered by ice. The lake, when frozen, is filled with beautiful frozen bubbles.

The radar can detect roughness—like from frozen methane bubbles—on the surface of the land, ice and water below. Thermokarst lakes with a high roughness, or more bubbles, tend to have higher ...
A gorgeous photo of frozen methane bubbles trapped in ice within the deepest lake on earth has gone viral. The picture— taken by photographer Kristina Makeeva and also shared by NASA—shows ...
These kinds of giant explosive bubbles might have caused craters in the ocean which stretch nearly a mile across. They are packed with methane which is waiting to burst out of the seabed and cause ...
Flammable ice, also known as methane hydrate, is created when methane gas is trapped within ice's molecular structure. Sheets of this frozen gas and ice contain microscopic bubbles of oil and water.
