The Arctic Is Hiding Fires That Never Go Out

Deep beneath the frozen Arctic, hidden fires are burning even in temperatures below -40°C. These underground “zombie fires” can smolder for months or even years beneath layers of soil and peat, surviving through snow and ice before reigniting on the surface. Scientists say they release massive amounts of carbon into the atmosphere and may become more common as the climate warms. The idea of fire surviving in one of the coldest places on Earth sounds impossible—but it’s real. Watch now to uncover the Arctic fires that refuse to stop.
