In 2023, scientists thawed a lump of mud from 16 metres beneath a Siberian lake. A virus that had been frozen in it for more than 48,000 years could still infect a living cell. The ground it came from is thawing. So what else is in there? Diseases that disappeared long ago? Or something that could warm the planet even further? From Batagaika, a crater in Yakutia whose walls are still retreating, to an anthrax outbreak among reindeer on the Yamal Peninsula, from a tundra fire on Alaska's North Slope, in a place with no trace of fire for 5,000 years, to fires that smoulder under the snow all winter: what is actually frozen in the permafrost, and which part of it is the real danger.
