A hidden Arctic world: Methane mounds and life found 3.6 km below the Greenland Sea

Scientists have found a unique geological and biological complex deep in the Greenland Sea. Methane hydrate mounds, formed by trapped methane and ice, were discovered along the Molloy Ridge. These mounds support chemosynthetic organisms, life that thrives without sunlight. This discovery offers new insights into Arctic oceanography and methane stability.
