Still Waters Posted May 19, 2013 #1 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Like clouds perched in the sky on a windless day, the white and billowy bubbles in the frozen blue waters of Alberta, Canada’s Abraham Lake are as picturesque as a scene on Earth can get. But they are hiding a dangerous secret. These buoyant bubbles aren’t air, they’re methane and they’re trapped inside the frigid lake. That is, until spring comes and the ice starts to thaw. http://www.dailymail...ethane-gas.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redhen Posted May 19, 2013 #3 Share Posted May 19, 2013 If I'm not mistaken, these types of methane bubbles have been blamed for sinking ships in the Bermuda triangle. A much more plausible theory I think than most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
