The Borealis Mud Volcano is only the second found in Norwegian waters and releases a continuous stream of methane-rich, muddy liquid from deep below Earth's crust.
Ocean explorers in the Arctic have discovered an underwater volcano spewing mud and methane from inside another, larger crater that probably formed after a catastrophic blowout at the end of the last ice age.
A submarine mud volcano is a geological structure formed by an expulsion of muddy fluid and gas, predominantly methane. The volcano sits in the middle of another, much larger crater, which is 984 feet wide and 82 feet deep. The exceptional formation sits 1,312 feet below the sea surface and likely resulted from a sudden and massive methane eruption after the last glacial period, 18,000 years ago, according to the statement.
