Scientists used buckets to scoop out methane bubbles from a spot in the Arctic sea.
Nikiforov said the scientists were lucky to find the fountain."It was a needle in a haystack chase, to find an exact place of a methane seep in dark sea waters, but we found it!"
The pockets of gas were released as frozen ground, known as permafrost, thawed beneath the ocean. Researchers measured concentrations of methane in the area and found it was six to seven times higher than the global average. By sampling the water near the fountain, the scientists found levels of methane were nine times higher than the global average. This is a concerning sign for global warming.
