Super Interesting: The Gates to Hell - Turkmenistan


The Derweze area is rich in natural gas. While drilling in 1971, Soviet geologists tapped into a cavern filled with natural gas. The ground beneath the drilling rig collapsed, leaving a large hole with a diameter of 70 metres (230 ft) and while geologists had hoped the fire would consume the fuel in a few days, the gas is still burning nearly fifty years later. 

Locals have named the crater the "Door to Hell".
