This past month a large crater was discovered in Yalmal Peninsula in Siberia.  Scientist have been there to study it.  They didn't come to any conclusions other then it was formed the same way a cork pops from a bottle. This is an area of tundra that is rich in methane gas.  It is believed that the thawing of the permafrost cause the gas to escape blowing a hole.  They have now found 2 other holes that are smaller.  Methane is a more serious threat to global warming then CO2.  This gives the scientist more sites to study and may lead to an explanation.
