And they mean gas
Maine Ocean Floor Has Mud-Trapped Gas
It seems that the ocean bottom -- I mean floor -- off of Maine has a layer of mud trapping natural gas fields. Occasionally, though, the gas bubbles to the top, and a big methane bubble will float to the surface. A crater is left behind -- one of them's the size of a football stadium. (A football stadium in Maine, or one in a bigger state?)
