For the first time in tens of thousands of years, Siberia's frozen land, the permafrost, is thawing. At this area, known as Wind Swept Cliff, huge ice wedges have been exposed by the thaw. The wedges are normally covered by vegetation, but as the ice melts, the solid land around it turns into mud and subsides, causing trees to fall over, and exposing the ice wedges. There are fears the thawing of the permafrost, could have dire consequences.
