Having relied on the harsh tundra for generations, they know it\u2019s better to live in harmony with Mother Nature. They say it could be a bad omen or a warning from \u201cheavenly, earthly, or underworld\u201d powers. Other theories have proliferated in the media, claiming the Yamal craters could be the result of meteor strikes, missile blasts, or even an alien invasion!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So far researchers have identified 17 of these mysterious craters that are up to 30 metres deep and are trying to establish their cause. The Yamal peninsula is a land of permanently frozen ground increasingly affected by global warming, but this is the only permafrost zone where mysterious craters have formed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Russian researchers think the process likely begins with a buildup of gas trapped under the surface, as explosions are preceded by the appearance of small hills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the help of satellite images and 3D models, researchers are also learning to predict where new craters will appear next. The Yamal craters pose a threat not only to the local Nenets population, but potentially gas extraction fields as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We discussed the curious Yamal craters with Nenets people, as well as Russian scientists who are closer than ever to untangling this geological mystery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0:00 &#8211; Mysterious Yamal Craters<br>2:13 &#8211; Nenets Reindeer Herders<br>5:44 &#8211; Discovery of the Yamal Holes<br>7:36 &#8211; Gas Buildup in the Permafrost<br>9:29 &#8211; A Bad Omen<br>11:54 &#8211; Predicting Future Craters<br>13:21 &#8211; Threat to Oil and Gas Fields?<br>14:18 &#8211; Could Gas Extraction be the Cause?<br>15:44 &#8211; Effects of Global Warming<br>17:12 &#8211; Tundra Adapting to Warming<br>21:40 &#8211; Solving the Mystery of the Yamal Craters<br>22:25 &#8211; Energy of the Future<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Russian scientists are working to solve the mystery surrounding enormous craters that have appeared in the Yamal tundra.
