The melting Siberian permafrost
What should the area that should be frozen in East Siberia look like? See for yourself.
This image looks like a swamp.
Chersky is where a lot of scientists work out of. It has an airport!
Put Chersky Russia in Google Earth and look around.
There are miles and miles of thaw lakes.
They produce methane like a land fill.
The image is from Landsat sometime in 2015

Hi Seemorerocks Thanks for the post but the date on the photo was 4/9/2013 so it could be worse by now.
