he Darvaza Gas Crater, also known as the Door to Hell, is a natural gas crater located in the Karakum Desert of Turkmenistan. It is a unique and captivating geological phenomenon that has gained international attention. • The history of the Darvaza Gas Crater dates back to 1971 when Soviet geologists were drilling for natural gas in the area. During the drilling process, the ground collapsed, creating a large crater with a diameter of approximately 70 meters (230 feet) and a depth of around 20 meters (66 feet). As a result, a significant amount of natural gas was released into the atmosphere. • Concerned about the potential environmental impact of the released gas, the geologists decided to ignite it, expecting that the gas would burn off within a few weeks. However, the gas has been burning continuously ever since, creating a spectacular sight of a fiery crater in the middle of the desert. • Instagram: JamesAllan0 • Become a Patron: / cityxcape
