Did you know The Darvaza Crater, known as the “Gate of Hell”, is a massive crater in the Karakum Desert, Turkmenistan. It originated in 1971 when Soviet geologists accidentally drilled an underground cave filled with natural gas, causing the ground to collapse. To avoid the release of toxic gas, they decided to set it on fire, hoping it would extinguish in a few days. However, the crater has been burning uninterrupted for more than 50 years, becoming a tourist attraction for its spectacular and mysterious appearance.
