A 230-foot-wide crater in the middle of the desert near the village of Derweze, Turkmenistan. In 1971, Soviet scientists set up a drilling platform looking for natural gas reserves. The rig collapsed, and fearing the spread of poisonous methane gas, the researchers set the crater on fire hoping it would burn out in a few hours. That was more than 40 years ago. The site is still burning attracting hundreds of tourists every year even though the country's president ordered it to be filled in 2010. The President of Turkmenistan, Saparmurat Niyazov, says "it was an unpleasant sight for tourists." The Darvaza Crater is an underground cavern filled with natural gas 60 metres wide and 20 metres deep. At night that Darvaza Crater is a spectacular site because it is surrounded by darkness in the Karakum desert and then you see the glowing crater burning. Turkmenistan's Door to Hell The burning crater in the middle of the Karakum desert in Turkmenistan is called the flaming Door to Hell in Derweze, Turkmenistan, in the southern pit of Erta Ale in Ethiopia, which is called the "gateway to Hell" or gates of hell.
