Alternatively called Derweze or the door to hell, this crater can be found in the Karakum desert of Turkmenistan, north of Ashgabat. While drilling in 1971, the Soviets tapped into this cavern filled with natural gas. They lit it thinking it would burn itself out in a matter of days. Not so, as you can see! It was mighty hot around the crater's edge, especially when there was a gust of wind. Can you see the people standing near the edge at the back in the middle? That will give you an idea of the size.

Darvaza, Turkmenistan - Staring into the flaming gas crater known as the Door to Hell In Darvaza, Turkmenistan.
... the door to hell !! When the soviets were drilling this site for oil in the 1970s, the ground collapsed into a wide crater. The engineers thought of burning the gas to prevent poisonous fumes from releasing into nearby towns. They expected that the gas would burn out within a week but it’s been burning from 45 years !!!! 🔥 Locals rumor this to be the gateway to hell and quite rightly so. It’s hundreds of kilometers deep in the karakum desert of Turkmenistan without a soul around. #darvaza #darvazacrater #turkmenistan #karakum
A mining disaster turned tourist attraction. The Darvaza Gas Crater is nicknamed the “Door to Hell”. It’s a pit of methane gas that has been burning for 40 years in the northern deserts of Turkmenistan. There is nothing else like it in the world. #Turkmenistan #Darvaza
