I cannot in any good conscience endorse what this dude is doing.
First off, it looks like he's pretty close to losing his eyebrows in a couple of those 'first experiments.' Secondly, the ice can't be all that thick if he's able to crack through it with the point of his knife.
Then again, I've never been in a climate where the lakes freeze that thoroughly or where those frozen lakes have bacteria pooping out methane after dining on the organic matter under the ice.
Maybe the guy knows just how thick the ice needs to be and is.
Maybe he knows he's quick enough to get out of the way of a particularly large and highly pressurized gas bubble.
Maybe...
Or maybe we'll get a different video posted when his camera gets fished out of his watery, icy grave.
If you are interested in going methane hunting, check out this ebook first.
