Siberian Megaslump: Thawing Permafrost Accelerates Climate Change
In Siberia's Batagaika Crater, thawing permafrost caused by 1960s deforestation is creating a kilometer-long, 100-meter-deep megaslump releasing ancient carbon and methane, accelerating climate change, and exposing 50,000-year-old mammoth remains.
