When Mercedes-Benz announced the end of the G500 4×4² production back in October 2017, there were no indications whether the hardcore off-roader would get a successor based on the new generation G-Class. The automaker then said the model has received a “phenomenal response” from customers and this has obviously played a positive role in taking the decision for a successor. Fast forward to the present day and we have the first spy photos of the new G500 4×4².
It’s still looking very rough with all the extra testing equipment attached to the body but there’s almost no camouflage. One thing is visible right from the beginning – the side-exit pipes for the exhaust system that were featured in the previous-generation of the model are not seen on this prototype. Also worth noting is the added extra weight on the roof rack and the funky visor on the windshield. There also seems to be a small ladder at the back and a rear-mounted spare wheel next to it.
From what we know so far, the new G-Class 4×4² will be based on the G500 version of the off-roader. This means there should be a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 under the hood but at this point it’s not known whether it’ll be in standard Mercedes form or in an AMG-tuned guise. Whatever the case is, it’ll produce at least about 416 horsepower (306 kilowatts) and 450 pound-feet (610 Newton-meters) of torque.
The previous generation of the adventure cruiser featured portal axles and a whopping ground clearance of 450 millimeters (17.7 inches), plus an impressive fording depth of 1,000 mm (39.3 inches). The extreme off-roader also had 22-inch alloy wheels with special 325/55 R22 tires. We expect similar specifications for the all-new G500 4×4².
We are excited to see the Stuttgart-based company is working on a successor to the mighty off-roader. According to preliminary details, it should debut at some point next year and go on sale as a 2022 model.

Scientists discovered something alarming seeping out from beneath the ocean around Antarctica

Planet-heating methane is escaping from cracks in the Antarctic seabed as the region warms, with new seeps being discovered at an “astonishing rate,” scientists have found, raising fears that future global warming predictions may have been underestimated.
Huge amounts of methane lie in reservoirs that have formed over millennia beneath the seafloor around the world. This invisible, climate-polluting gas can escape into the water through fissures in the sea floor, often revealing itself with a stream of bubbles weaving their way up to the ocean surface.

Relatively little is known about these underwater seeps, how they work, how many there are, and how much methane reaches the atmosphere versus how much is eaten by methane-munching microbes living beneath the ocean.
But scientists are keen to better understand them, as this super-polluting gas traps around 80 times more heat than carbon dioxide in its first 20 years in the atmosphere.
Methane seeps in Antarctica are among the least understood on the planet, so a team of international scientists set out to find them. They used a combination of ship-based acoustic surveys, remotely operated vehicles and divers to sample a range of sites in the Ross Sea, a bay in Antarctica’s Southern Ocean, at depths between 16 and 790 feet.
What they found surprised them. They identified more than 40 methane seeps in the shallow water of the Ross Sea, according to the study published this month in Nature Communications.

Many of the seeps were found at sites that had been repeatedly studied before, suggesting they were new. This may indicate a “fundamental shift” in the methane released in the region, according to the report.
Methane seeps are relatively common globally, but previously there was only one confirmed active seep in the Antarctic, said Sarah Seabrook, a report author and a marine scientist at Earth Sciences New Zealand, a research organization. “Something that was thought to be rare is now seemingly becoming widespread,” she told CNN.
Every seep they discovered was accompanied by an “immediate excitement” that was “quickly replaced with anxiety and concern,” Seabrook said.
The fear is these seeps could rapidly transfer methane into the atmosphere, making them a source of planet-heating pollution that is not currently factored into future climate change predictions.
The scientists are also concerned the methane could have cascading impacts on marine life.
