When to Leave: Warning Signs and Unexpected Dangers Around the World!. Content Warning.
The Blazing Darvaza Crater Deep in the deserts of Turkmenistan lies the Darvaza Crater, also known as the "Door to Hell." This massive, burning pit illuminates the dark desert with a bright orange glow. It was created decades ago when geologists were mining for gas and an underground void collapsed, forming a crater as wide as half a soccer field and as deep as a five-story building. To prevent harm from the escaping gases, scientists set the gas alight, expecting the fire to last a few days. Nearly fifty years later, the crater is still burning. In 2013, an explorer descended into the crater for the first time, discovering unique bacteria that thrive in this fiery environment, revealing the extraordinary adaptability of life.
