Door To Hell – Turkmenistan

sagor24 (47)in #travel • 7 years ago

Darvaza gas crater, also known as Door to Hell or Gates of Hell, is a crater that has been aflame since 1971. It started as a natural gas crater, and in order to prevent the spread of methane gas and other toxic gases, geologists set it on fire. It has been aflame ever since.

In 2010, the president of Turkmenistan ordered that the crater should be closed, however, you can still visit it.
