Having fire near a fishing hole what could go wrong?

Description of what the gif shows: 2 guys goes on to a frozen lake. One guy is holding a flame the other guy is punching a hole in the ice. Methane is released and get in touch with the flame and make a fireball. The guy who punched the hole gets very close to the fireball. Wether he was hurt or alright is not shown.

There's a particular place in Siberia where this happens; the video might be from there.

I think it's because the lake has been frozen for a very long time, allowing the methane from decaying plant material on the lake floor to build up to such high levels.
