Scientists may have cracked the giant Siberian crater mystery — and the news isn’t good
Researchers have long contended that the epicenter of global warming is also farthest from the reach of humanity. It’s in the barren landscapes of the frozen North, where red-cheeked children wear fur, the sun barely rises in the winter and temperatures can plunge to 122 degrees below zero.
