Methane clathrates, also known as methane hydrates, are compounds found in the ocean floor where methane is trapped within a crystal structure of water ice. There is speculation that these clathrates could release large amounts of methane if disturbed, potentially impacting global climates. The extent of these deposits and their stability remains a significant unknown.
