Gas crater Darwaza
Unique crater burning continuously for over forty years, is located in the Karakum Desert, which is the territory of Turkmenistan. This place is known to many, but not everyone can go there in reality. Will visit virtual-absentia?
Back in 1971, a simple exploration well failed with all the equipment due to the fact that the drillers hit an underground cavity. The idea to burn the gas turned out to be not very successful. Gas burns 42 years and it seems to be burning for a long time. Although the government and is planning a program of action to extinguish the "gates of hell." Will it happen? We learn in the future. The original form of the name can be considered a pun gas crater Darwaza as a hot tourist area :)
