TOPSHOT - This aerial view taken on August 24, 2021, shows the pond at the Storflaket mire, an area where permafrost is studied by researchers looking into the impact of climate change near the village of Abisko, in Norrbotten County, Sweden. - In the Arctic in Sweden's far north, global warming is happening three times faster than in the rest of the world. Storflaket and the nearby Stordalen sites are key centres of research in Europe into the effects of climate change on permafrost. The methane is released as the permafrost melts.
