Experts have discovered a new volcano, called a mud volcano, at a depth of 400 meters in the Barents Sea.

Researchers at the Arctic University of Norway have discovered an underwater volcano spewing mud and methane from another, larger crater that erupted at the end of the last ice age. This was reported by the UIT.

The discovery was made in the southwestern part of the Barents Sea. This is the second such volcano discovered in Norwegian waters.

According to researchers, the newly discovered volcano, which is about seven meters in diameter and about 2.5 meters high, is located inside a crater that is about 300 meters wide and 25 meters deep. It was probably the result of a natural eruption that suddenly released large amounts of methane after the last ice age 18,000 years ago.

These unique volcanoes are a direct window into the bowels of the Earth, as they spew water and fine sedimentary rocks from depths ranging from several hundred meters to several kilometers. They also provide a clue to understanding past environments that existed on Earth.

Earlier it was reported that in Mexico the most dangerous volcano Popocatepetl has become more active.
