Lesser Known Wonders Of The World: Hell's Gate (Uzbekistan)




 HELL'S GATE. UZBEKISTAN.
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 starts 35 years. The geologists were drilling for gas. Suddenly during the drilling they have found an underground cavern. It was so big that all the drilling site with all the equipment and camp sank into the ground. Noone 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. 35 years without any pause. Nobody knows how many tons of excellent gas has burned all those years but it just seems to be an infinite source.
