In July 2014, a helicopter pilot flying over Northern Russia's remote Yamal Peninsula came across a massive crater in the thick, permanently frozen subsurface layer of soil known as permafrost. As news of the gaping hole that measured an impressive 100-meters in diameter spread, people all over the world began wondering about its origin.

                    The burning of the pingos left little gaps in the ice for the methane to get through. The amount of methane was a higher percentage of methane than in normal places being at 10% releasing this amount of methane all at once which explodes causing the gigantic craters. the smaller craters could have been caused by the pingos melting and the ground beneath them could not stand the strain so it collapsed inwards causing the small craters.
