via “Gooey” New Mud Volcano Erupts From Arabian Sea There’s a new island in the azure waters off Pakistan, but you might want to hold off on vacation planning: The tiny dot is a mud volcano that will likely disappear before it sees 1,001 Arabian nights. Pakistani fishers reported the new mud volcano in . . . → Read More: “Gooey” New Mud Volcano Erupts From Arabian Sea

Methane seeps are created where faults in in the sediment allow methane buried in deep deposits to seep upward toward the seafloor. This methane can form ices . . . → Read More: Methane Bubbles

Large deposits of methane hydrates, i.e. methane ice, occur naturally in the seafloor sediments of the Arctic continental shelf between 300-600 meters. This is dominate reservoir for methane due to the large area and extremely low temperatures. The continued and predicted warming of . . . → Read More: Ocean Warming Melts Methane Hydrates Which Screws Us All

The plume originates in a previously unknown, amphitheater-shaped scar (main image, arrow) on the ocean bottom about 32 kilometers northwest of California’s Cape Mendocino.
