What would happen if the world faces an even deadlier strain of unknown virus? Or worse many more such viruses that lie hidden deep within the permafrost. Permafrost is a permanently frozen layer on or under the earth's surface. It consists of soil, gravel, and sand, usually bound together by ice. The soil beneath has been kept at below zero temperatures for hundreds of thousands of years.

Scientists sound alarm for potential outbreak

Billions of years ago when the Sun that lights up our Earth was a young star, the solar system as we know it today was just a large disk of rocky dust and gas. For millions of years, tiny dust particles coalesced together to become a few mile-sized 'planetesimals', the basic units that formed our Earth and the rest of the planets and their moons in our solar system.
