Not sure what I'm seeing here. Are the methane bubbles encapsulated in the thick ice? Or ... ?

That lake is truly the center of strange Phenomena. Always something unusual going on in that lake.

I'm trying to get my head around this idea of frozen methane bubbles in liquid water. Anyone happened to look at the freezing point of methane? IIRC, its something like -295 degrees F. At that temperature, water is not only frozen, but about as hard a steel.

The tittle probably should have been methane bubbles trapped in ice on a frozen lake

That may be, but yesterday or maybe the day before, I saw someone mention all the methane ice trapped at the bottom of the oceans of the world. No wonder the climate Nazi's seem to be having it all their way.
