Crater 60 meters wide and 20 meters continue to burn in for 38 years.
There is a strange phenomenon in the Karakum Desert in Turkmenistan.
Near the remote village, inhabited Derweze 350 people, there is a crater 60 meters wide and within 20 meters. This crater is constantly out the fire and burned for 38 years.

By local residents, smoldering crater is known as Crater Gas Darvaza or also better known as the 'Gate of Hell'. This crater can be seen from a distance of several kilometers.
This is not a natural phenomenon, but rather the result of industrial accidents. In 1971, a Soviet drilling rig accident on an underground cave that stores natural gas in massive quantities.
It causes the ground to collapse and the whole rig drilling into it. Toxic natural gas leaking from the hole.

He ordered local authorities to find ways to overcome them and ensure that will not hamper the development of gas fields nearby.

Berdymukhamedov said that "this anomaly 'has hindered the development of underground exploration industry in Karakum.
