South Korea seeks fire in the Arctic
South Korea's Araon icebreaker will arrive at the Beaufort Sea in Canadian waters, officially commencing research on the ice, the ideal source of energy for the future.

>>>Burning ice - a new energy revolution?
Burnt ice (scientific name is natural hydrate, or gas hydrate) is solid, formed from natural gas and water under high pressure conditions (over 30 atmospheres) and low temperature (below 0 degrees C). Just raise the temperature or reduce the pressure, the fire tape will resolve: From 1m 3 of ice burning when resolution will be 164m 3 methane gas and 0.8m 3 of water, 2-5 times the energy of natural gas, clean and do not pollute the environment.
Departing from September 8 from Barrow port in Alaska state (USA), with the speed of 20km / h, it is expected that after 2 days, the Araon will arrive at Beaufort Sea in Canadian waters, officially starting the research of ice Fire, the ideal source of energy for the future.
Scientists on the Araon will inspect the seabed layers through the feedback wave after firing seismic waves.
This is the fourth time the Arctic research team on South Korea's Araon icebreaker explores the seabed of the Arctic Sea.
