Permafrost is perennially frozen soil that covers about a quarter of the land in the Northern Hemisphere .

Microbes feasting on organic matter in soils that have been frozen for millennia release greenhouse gases.

The disappearance of lakes across the permafrost extent is likely to affect the livelihoods of Indigenous communities as water quality, fish and other wildlife shift.

Permafrost is estimated to hold twice as much carbon as the atmosphere today .

Nearly 50% of global soil organic carbon is stored in these frozen soils.

Climate models suggest the impacts of such transitions could be dire.

For people living in these areas, slumping land and destabilizing soil will mean living with the risks and costs, says Mark Lara .
