Context: The "gateway to the underworld" in Siberia (Russia) officially known as Batagay (or Batagaika), is an enormous crater that has been rapidly growing due to the effects of permafrost thaw.
Permafrost thaw is the melting of permanently frozen ground, mainly in polar and high-mountain regions. Permafrost is ground that stays frozen for at least two years in a row. It includes soil, rock, and organic matter like dead plants and animals. |
