Scientists were able to learn the origin of the huge craters in the Barents sea. Experts from Norwegian research Centre for Arctic gas hydrate, climate and environment said that the huge craters resulted from the collapse of gas hydrates during the last glacial period.

It is noted that in the bowels of accumulated natural gas. When the amount reached a certain limit, it burst forth through powerful explosions of methane. As a result, formed a huge crater. This conclusion researchers made after studying hundreds of craters on the seabed. Part of the craters in the diameter range is from 300 to 1000 meters. Scientists believe that the collapse of gas hydrates took about 5000 years and ended in the moment when weakened water pressure. The researchers added that similar objects are on the territory of modern Siberia. After experts will conduct a number of scientific studies, they will be able to answer the question of how methane gets into the oceans and earth's atmosphere.
