"Just a week into the sampling program and SWERUS-C3 scientists have
discovered vast methane plumes escaping from the seafloor of the Laptev
continental slope. These early glimpses of what may be in store for a
warming Arctic Ocean could help scientists project the future releases
of the strong greenhouse gas methane from the Arctic Ocean."

This is not good news.  But better to be informed.
