 At fissure six there has been an increase in eruption activity this morning. We got these cracks, just this morning. We got an increase of gas emissions where we are standing. This used to be someone’s back garden. It really began to smoke again. The sulfur dioxide is being pumped into the atmosphere. Sulfur gas crystalizing at the mouth of the crack.

<p>Colossal explosions shake a remote corner of the Siberian tundra, leaving behind massive craters. In Alaska, a huge lake erupts with bubbles of inflammable gas. Scientists are discovering that these mystifying phenomena add up to a ticking time bomb, as long-frozen permafrost melts and releases vast amounts of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. What are the implications of these dramatic developments in the Arctic? Scientists and local communities alike are struggling to grasp the scale of the methane threat and what it means for our climate future. <b>(Premiered February 2, 2022)</b></p>

<p>In the Arctic, enormous releases of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, threaten the climate.</p>
