Scientists have discovered a methane gas deposit at the tip of an undersea volcano off of California, and the ecosystem surrounding the deposit has altered due to the methane in the area.

The SF lover in me is utterly fascinated by discoveries like these. They set the mind to percolating with story ideas!

The interesting thing to me was that it was just fifteen miles off the coast. That’s just about double my commute to work, and it’s not been discovered until just now.
