Methane Mounds
Mounds have emerged, likely trapped methane released by thawing permafrost. Methane can be stored below ground in crystaline as well as gaseous states; the solid contains extremely high concentrations of methane. The transition to the gaseous state is believed to be causing both mounds and explosions, which have created craters.
