Beautiful and creepy, this place is called by locals “The Door to Hell”. This huge hole in the ground situated in Darvaz, Uzbekistan was once the site of a gas drilling site where 35 years ago, geologists discovered a massive cavern filled with an unknown gas. It was claimed that since there was a danger of poisonous gases in the cavern, the drilling company decided to ignite the gases before proceeding with the drilling.
The hole has been burning ever since."
