Re: First pictures from inside the 'crater at the end of the world'
Maybe there is a methane hydrate layer down below (which looks like ice). And some melted (forming methane gas) and the ground "burped" and made a polite hole in the ground.

Good point!

Thread: Methane Hydrate Site Immediately Offshore New Orleans,LA. Breaching Through Napoleon Salt Dome? The Smoking Gun.

Except;

Methane
hydrates have been found in the subsurface
in permafrost regions, but most occur
in oceanic sediments hundreds of meters
below the sea floor where water depths are greater than about 500 meters

 Quoting: El Quisqueyano

 Quoting: ArunaLuna


Thanks! I was just supposing based on things I've read, and really had no factual evidence that methane hydrate could be found in permafrost regions, thanks for information.

Seems like a gas bubble rose from below, based on viewing photos and pictures, so it reminded me of methane hydrate trying to escape, instead of water, earth.

It does, back after the gulf oil spill happened there were lots of threads about methane hydrates and I remember seeing something once that shows how it rises thru the earth slowly enough to make it appear as if something "bored" it's way up thru the ground nice and neat...I'll try and find the visuals to show that...but it makes sense.

Just a heads up.

[link to siberiantimes.com]

The first expedition to the scene - the scientists have just returned - took these epic pictures of the hole, including the darkening pattern on the inner rim.

They found the crater - around up to 70 metres deep - has an icy lake at its bottom, and water is cascading down its eroding permafrost walls.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 31673003


The darkening pattern on the inner rim tells that there was a high temperature that caused burning and produced ash. This is also consistent with the 7th photo showing a vitrified shiny inner wall!
Maybe it's a meteorite crash site.

TPTB blamed global warming on CO2, while turning a blind eye to the massive releases of methane from the seabed and now from permafrost. The fact is that the warming was noticed much more in the temperature of the oceanic water than in the air, so the source of warming is inside earth, this is why the permafrost is melting.

The very straight verticle striations would indicate that a material harder than methane "machined" the hole in the permafrost. Like metal. You can see them in the last two photos.

Thanks for the pics, OP.

5 stars!

We needed a diversion from all the chaos...

(When I first saw the photos of the hole a week or so ago,
the first thing I said to my wife was, "Why didn't they lower a camera into the hole to see what's at the bottom?")

I am a bit confused why a scientific expedition couldn't measure the exact depth of the hole. All they could report was that it's 50-70 meters deep; guess they didn't bring a long enough ball of twine :)

There's that mars "impact" from March 2012 also that was found recently...I'm still not really sure it was an IMPACT or rather something similar to a geologic release, but to me it's potentially related...similar planetary effects.

Article from May 22 2014



Thread: Brand New Crater on Mars Revealed by Before-and-After Pictures


Here’s your “holy frak!” moment for today: the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter took an image of a 50-meter wide crater on the Red Planet on March 28, 2012 … but the crater wasn’t there in an image taken on March 27!

In other words, this crater was spotted less than a day after the impact that formed it!

JPL put together a video explaining the particulars:

Yes, the planet has its way of is getting rid of us and looks like it's starting with Russia. Here's from your link:

Over the past forty years most of the heat gain has gone into the oceans. Relatively little has been taken up by the land, by trees or by glaciers. The increase in the oceans has been hardly noticed, yet the amount of heat the oceans have absorbed is equivalent to having exploded FOUR Hiroshima-sized atomic bombs every SECOND.
The global methane level today is 1,815 ppb. It is more than twice as high as it has been throughout human history.

This has been a pondering for a while, along the lines of the whole expanding earth theory, atmospheric changes predating significant landscape changes and changes to entire continental boundaries and massive crustal displacement events...it is all connected.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 30235183


Well humanity itself grows in a cycle of evolving much like our planet I assume. We utilize everything within our environment at our disposal to replicate and reproduce for a purpose, somewhat like species perfection, eventually throughout many cycle of species it reaches a threshold where it faces an extinction event which enables the INSUFFICIENT parts to extinct and the EFFICIENT parts to evolve or change form to something better utilized by it's "host", in our case the Earth.

Part of humanities pattern is the all time battle between good and evil (inside ones own self) the ultimate showdown for a species, learning to live for the best of all instead of a unique perspective, not hive minded rather a step above as it surpasses that kind of PTB versus COMMAN MAN struggle. Larger scale dynamics when you apply SELF responsibility concepts.

This is why humans form "energy entities" Tulpas, egregores, things like that, our capacity to surpass the anniahilation of an event our host needs to go thru, it's something we tap into after to ensure a species survival.

Possibly...
