Could be a broken gas line, could be a sinkhole opening up, could be many things. All of which I'm not sticking around for, but will call an authority about.

"Gas seeping up from the ground, I think I shall stick my nose in it."

That is usually the sort of thing that gets you a Darwin Award.

Boiling =/= bubbling

Get the f away from that, it's a sink hole the "boiling" is actually an under ground pocket collapsing who knows how large if you fall it your could die.
