Life Found in Flammable Ice

Flammable ice, also known as methane hydrate, is created when methane gas is trapped within ice’s molecular structure. Sheets of this frozen gas and ice contain microscopic bubbles of oil and water. In a new study, scientists studying “flammable ice” in the Sea of Japan found microscopic, living creatures within these tiny bubbles.
