Experts warn gas pipes are in real danger from exploding tundra

"In a number of areas pingos – we see both from satellite data and with own eyes during helicopter inspections – they literally prop up gas pipes," says Professor Bogoyavlensky.

His analysis show gas pipelines running over the swelling tundra on the Yamal Peninsula. The region has Russia's largest and most important natural gas fields and is key to supplying Europe.
