    Default Norway... Fire from The Ice!

    Quite impressive...



    Didn't know you could do this, but of course it makes sense. Rotting vegetation, releases methane over the winter, which is trapped under the ice in bubbles.
    Not sure what practical use it is, but it's a great party trick, check out the second video at the bottom of the page...
