Well-Preserved 50,000-Year-Old Baby Mammoth Yana Unearthed in Siberia
The remarkably well-preserved remains of a 50,000-year-old baby mammoth, named Yana, were discovered in Siberia's Batagaika crater. Unearthed from thawing permafrost in the Yakutia region, Yana’s carcass, weighing over 240 pounds and measuring about four feet long, is considered one of the best-preserved mammoth remains ever found. Notably, her h...

Arctic Siberia Summers 10 Degree Celsius Warmer in Last Interglacial, New Study Reveals
A new study reveals that Arctic Siberia experienced summer temperatures up to 10 degree Celsius warmer than today during the Last Interglacial period, which occurred approximately 115,000–130,000 years ago. Researchers analysed sediment cores and fossil records from the Dmitry Laptev Strait to reconstruct past environments. The study found signif...

Updated World Magnetic Model Predicts Magnetic North Pole’s Shift
On December 17, the National Centers for Environmental Information and the British Geological Survey released an updated version of the World Magnetic Model, designed to predict Earth's magnetic field changes over the next five years. The update is crucial for ensuring the accuracy of navigation systems, including satellite and smartphone applicati...

Asteroid Detected Hours Before Earth Impact, Creates Fireball Over Siberia
On December 3, 2024, a small asteroid, C0WEPC5, measuring about 27 inches in diameter, was detected just hours before entering Earth's atmosphere. The asteroid disintegrated harmlessly over Siberia, creating a bright fireball. This marked the fourth "imminent impactor" event of the year, with three others recorded over Berlin, Hawaii, and the Phili...

Ancient Burial Mound in Siberia Discovered With Evidence of Human Sacrifice: Study
Archaeologists in southern Siberia have discovered a 2,800-year-old burial mound containing an elite individual along with sacrifices of at least one human and 18 horses. The kurgan, dating to the 9th century B.C., is one of the earliest known to display elements of Scythian burial practices, such as human and animal sacrifices, and may mark the be...

Siberian Craters Explained: Thawing Permafrost and Methane Gas Trigger Explosive Craters
Researchers have revealed the cause behind the enormous craters found in Siberia's permafrost, linking them to thawing conditions and explosive methane gas releases. As the surface melts, water seeps into ancient cryopegs, pockets of salty water trapped beneath the permafrost. The resulting pressure build-up causes cracks to form, leading to explos...

Siberian Crater’s Mysterious Growth Could Be Due to Methane Gas, Scientists Find
In Siberia, a massive crater emerged explosively in the tundra, sending ice and rock hundreds of feet away and creating a large circular scar. This event marked the 17th crater discovered in the Yamal and Gyda peninsulas since 2013, attracting significant scientific interest. The craters are believed to be linked to climate change, with modern tool...
