On the official page of "Roscosmos" on Instagram posted a photo of the gas bubble, formed from methane under a layer of ice of Baikal.

The frame was obtained with the help of spacecraft "Canopus-b", designed for remote sensing of our planet. According to representatives of "Roscosmos", the device is equipped with two cameras. Panchromatic band has a resolution of 2.1 meters. Multispectral functioning in 4 spectral ranges, allows to obtain the image resolution of 10.5 m. Both the optical device captures data, which are then used ground-based services to prevent natural disasters.

The majority of Internet users, of course, excited question, what could be the consequences of the emergence of these gas formations. The specialists reassured us this is normal. In winter many ponds are formed bubbles. The main thing — not to sit directly on the ice in this area, as it may crack from the pressure of the gas.
