As in conditions similar to this, Nick? I see similar 'Wopmay' features here (lol):

Trinidad's mud volcano at Anglais Point and it's not the only one in that area.

Speaking of Methane:

[One of the locations where Mumma's team found elevated methane lies above Meridiani Planum, the equatorial region where the NASA rover Opportunity found signs of a past ocean. That site might still contain underground deposits of water and, if so, "could potentially support active life forms," Mumma notes]

From: http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20040410/fob3.asp

Biological or not, it's still interesting that Methane was detected over Meridiani.
