Global warming has a strong impact on polar regions. Particularly, the Antarctic Peninsula and nearby islands have experienced a marked warming trend in the past 50 years. Therefore, higher methane (CH 4 ) emissions from this area could be expected in the future. Since mitigation of these emissions...
