  • Researchers from the Limnological Institute in nearby Irkutsk, are after a trove of white, ice-like chunks called methane hydrates, which is hidden at the bottom of Lake Baikal. For over a decade, scientists have trekked to this remote corner of the Russian wilderness from around the world, funded by governments eager to understand how to exploit these peculiar accumulations. Here, Moskvitch reports on the race for the world's biggest, cleanest fossil fuel supply.
