The "burning springs"

In November I went to investigate two sites. These seepage's are interesting because, they are spring with very high methane concentrations. because of this high concentration the "top" of the spring can be ignited, producing flames as high as 20 cm!

 On the way to the "burning springs" we stopped at the Lacul Rosu.

 The "burning spring" from Hlipiceni.

 Sampling gas sample from the spring. because of the high flux, there was no use of using a syrenge.

The other "burning spring". Located in Slanic-Moldova.

The beautiful Carpathian background.
