    This doesn't look like typical CO2 outbursts to me. Other ideas?

    You're see either some frost mixed in there too or the fan particles have partially sunk into the ice changing and helping to change the structure of the ice causing the light too reflect different. We're not 100% sure which case is occurring, but it does look like both happen as the ice sheet thaws. A more detailed explanation from Michael on the science team can be found here.
