This place in Uzbekistan is called by locals “The Door to Hell”. It is situated
near the small town of Darvaz. The story of this place lasts already for
35 years. Once the geologists were drilling for gas. Then suddenly during
 the drilling they have found an underground cavern, it was so big that
all the drilling site with all the equipment and camps got deep deep
 under the ground. None dared to go down there because the cavern
 was filled with gas. So they ignited it so that no poisonous gas
 could come out of the hole, and since then, it’s burning,
already for 35 years without any pause. Nobody knows how
many tons of excellent gas has been burned for all those years
but it just seems to be infinite there.
