Thanks for helping the Arctic to be the fastest warming region on the planet. How global warming could turn Siberia into a giant crater ‘time bomb’ By Anna Liesowska & Derek Lambie 25 December 2014 Scientists say there is growing evidence that rising temperatures were catalyst for massive unexplained holes in ground. Scientists studying one of the massive holes on the Yamal Peninsula say there is growing evidence that rising temperatures is the main catalyst. Picture: Vladimir Pushkarev/Russian Centre of Arctic Exploration Global warming could leave parts of Siberia exposed to a wave of underground explosions like those behind the recent unexplained giant craters phenomenon. Scientists studying one of the massive holes on the Yamal Peninsula say there is growing evidence that rising temperatures is the main catalyst triggering the blasts. They believe warming air is melting the thick permafrost, leading to the accumulation and release of volatile 'fire ice' gases which then explodes to create the giant funnels. Overall temperatures in Yamal, in northwest Siberia, in the past 14 years alone have risen by at least two degrees Celsius. Any continued increase – as is predicted by meteorologists – could create the ideal conditions for more craters to be formed across the icy region, and other parts of Siberia. siberiantimes.com Lots of photos, plus "There is already speculation that Lake Baikal, the largest and oldest freshwater lake in the world, could also be sitting on a 'time bomb' ready to explode. The scenic stretch of water, which snakes for 400 miles through south-east Siberia, has massive reserves of the volatile 'fire ice' buried under ground."
