WORLD PRESS PHOTO 2020 KATIE ORLINSKY - THE CARBON THREAT 049
The Batagaika Crater in the Siberian town of Batagay, Russia. August 8th, 2018. The crater, known as the "hell crater" to locals, is a thermokarst depression, or permafrost “megaslump.” Roughly half a mile long and 300 feet deep, the Batagaika Crater started forming in the 1960s after nearby forests were cleared, exposing the ground to sun that heated up the ground, and the permafrost underneath it (when permafrost laced with ice thaws, earth collapses and forms craters and lakes). To this day the crater continues to grow. The ancient soils of Arctic permafrost, seen in the wall of the crater, hold the organic remains of leaves, grass, and animals that died thousands of years ago, during the Ice Age. All that carbon had been safely bound in frozen earth2014 until now. Arctic permafrost is thawing much faster than expected, releasing carbon gases that could drastically speed up climate change.
