This whole thing is utter and total BS. There is no evidence whatsoever, not even coordinates of the places to view.

A key point is that it says the permafrost has been there for 700,000 years. The earth has been in an ice age for over 2 and a half million years. Arctic permafrost has been there for at least that long and likely more. The 700,000 number was simply made up. This article should be deleted as garbage.

[snip] O’Donnell and his colleagues found high levels of iron, nickel, zinc, cadmium, and copper in affected waters, although oxidized iron is what’s turning them orange. Movement of metals from thawed ground to water may cause a loss of habitat for important subsistence fish species like Dolly Varden, chum salmon, and whitefish. The metals transported downstream from headwater streams to larger rivers could also contaminate drinking water supplies for nearby villages. [/snip]

[snip] In the United States, the presence of widespread permafrost results in classes of geologic hazards that are largely unique to Alaska. Permafrost is structurally important to the soils of Alaska, and its thawing causes landslides, ground subsidence, and erosion as well as lake disappearances, new lake development, and saltwater encroachment into aquifers and surface waters. Usteq, from the Yup’ik word meaning “surface caves in,” is a catastrophic form of permafrost thaw collapse that occurs when frozen ground disintegrates under the compounding influences of thawing permafrost, flooding, and erosion.
