article_snippet.sent: One such reservoir was recently discovered on the ultraslow spreading Knipovich ridge (pictured), in the deep Fram Strait of the Arctic Ocean. '
article_snippet.sent: But in the Knipovich Ridge the Knipovich Ridge is trapped as gas hydrate in the sediments. '

article_snippet.sent: Rather than causing a concern, there are many places in the Arctic Ocean with a similar tectonic setting as the Knipovich ridge claims that active tectonic environments may serve as a stable area for long-term storage of methane carbon in deep-marine sediments.
