Is the surface of the earth boiling or getting blisters? Either way. Creepy.

  Given that the surface is neither turning to gas nor a piece of skin, the answer to your question is a resounding No.

  Events similar to this are fairly common in the Earth's crust. This definitely isn't the first time that some noxious fumes rose up from the Earth's interior. I bet this is how a lot of lakes in the northern hemisphere were formed

    Nope, glaciers. Baikal is an exception, because it is formed in the rift of two tectonic plates. The current crater is possible because the tundra is lots of frozen mud with gas in it. Gets warm, bubbles form, gas goes out. Edit: The gas is the result of biomass decaying. The cold had stopped the process for thousands of years but when the environment gets warmer, the bacteria activates and resumes the process.
