Batagaika crater

According to a conference paper published in 2016 the crater did not show any signs of stabilization after several decades (since 1980s) of slump growth, with the headwall retreating with observed rates of generally >10 m and up to 30m per year closer to 2016. Reconstruction of a paleo-surface revealed that the slump had carved at the time into the rolling topography to a depth of up to 73 m. The current size of the slump was then >69 ha, and it had thawed >25 × 106 m³ of ice-rich permafrost through 2016.
