Understand

The swampland distance conjecture (SDC) addresses the ability of effective field theory to describe distant points in moduli space.

It is natural to ask whether there is a local version of the SDC: is it possible to construct local excitations in an EFT that sample extreme regions of moduli space? In many cases such excitations exhibit horizons or instabilities, suggesting that there are bounds on the size and structure of field excitations that can be achieved in EFT.
Static bubbles in ordinary Kaluza-Klein theory provide a simple class of examples: the KK radius goes to zero on a smooth surface, locally probing an infinite distance point, and the bubbles are classically unstable against radial perturbations.
However, it is also possible to stabilize KK bubbles at the classical level by adding flux.
