- The Door to Hell, as locals call it, is situated near the small town of Darvaz in Turkmenistan. Thirty-five years ago, geologists were drilling for gas when then encountered a very large cavern underground filled with a poisonous gas. They ignited the gas expecting it to burn off in a few hours. Thirty-five years later, the gas is still burning.

- The story is true (aside from one detail: this is in Darvaza, not Darvaz, which is in Afghanistan). Confirmed on Wikipedia (fuck you before you even say it; I'm not writing a term paper here). However, the content is stolen without even credit given to the anonymous author and photographer(s).

- LA PORTE DE L'ENFER Phénomène situé près de la petite ville de Darvza au Turkménistan. Il y a 35 ans les géologues faisaient des forages pour chercher du gaz quand ils rencontrèrent une très grande caverne en sous-sol remplie de gaz toxique. Ils allumèrent le gaz pensant qu’il brûlerait en quelques heures. 35 ans plus tard, le gaz brûle toujours !!!!!

- Darvaza underground is naturally rich in natural gas. In 1971, during a drilling, geologists accidentally found an underground cavern filled with natural gas. The ground on which the drilling rig was placed collapsed, leaving a large gaping hole exposed with a diameter of about 50-100 meters. To avoid poisonous gases coming out of the hole, it was decided to let the gases burn. As of 2008, gases in the underground cavern are still burning without interruption. Locals have named the cavern The Door to Hell.
