The Door To Hell

The Door to Hell, is situated near the small town of Darvaz in Turkmenistan. Thirty-five years ago, geologists were drilling for gas when then encountered a very large cavern underground filled with a poisonous gas. They ignited the gas expecting it to burn off in a few hours. The gas is still burning to this day, creating a spectacular marvel that is amazing yet unbelievable! This is an excellent example of how awesome the Earth is and how little control we really have.
