Frozen Methane is exactly what it sounds like. Frozen methane. Or in other words, it's methane locked in ice, which is called hydrates. It is also known as fire ice, because of it's ice-like appearance and ability to burn when lit with a match. Frozen Methane is formed when a large amount of methane is trapped within a crystal structure of water, forming a solid similar to ice.
We're not sure how much methane is trapped in methyl clathrates, or how much is in danger of escaping. The other major source of methane in the Arctic is the organic matter frozen in permafrost. This is the source of methane that I study. The organic matter in permafrost contains a lot of carbon. It is made of dead plants and animals that have been frozen deep in permafrost for thousands of years.
