"Alarming Methane Seep Discovered Beneath Antarctic Seabed as Waters Warm"

Scientists have discovered alarming methane seeps beneath the Antarctic seabed as waters warm, suggesting that current predictions of climate change may be underestimated.

• Recent surveys at Cape Evans in Antarctica revealed significant methane escape from the seabed, indicating a potential increase in greenhouse gases affecting the atmosphere.
• The discovery of new cold seep sites in the Ross Sea, Antarctica, highlights the urgent need to reassess the impact of warming waters on methane reservoirs beneath the Earth.
• A remotely operated underwater vehicle facilitated the exploration, uncovering methane emissions at an astonishing rate, raising concerns about global climate change predictions.
