The first mysterious crater appeared in the Russian circumpolar area in 2014.
Scientists were able to develop a method by which it will be possible to predict the appearance of giant craters in the Tundra.
Large formations found two years ago in the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous district on the Yamal Peninsula.
The head of the Russian centre of Arctic exploration, told about the new method, which allows you to identify objects that are threatening greenhouse gas emissions. According to scientists, to define such zones, use of satellite pictures.
Recall that the first funnel were found in the Tundra in 2014 on the Yamal Peninsula. The sizes of the craters were enormous: depth of over 200 meters and a diameter of 60 m.
According to scientists, the crater formed due to the emission of the hydrate, so it is necessary to identify hazardous areas and predict the emergence of new holes.
