Hell’s Gate

What do you think if you are


talking about imagine hell?
Surely you are thinking of a painful torment and a burning flame. It turns out that somewhere in
Turkmenistan, there are terrible craters that are often calling hell holes. The name “hell gate” for
holes in Turkmenistan appear isn’t excessive. Location at Karakum wasteland, central of
Turkmenistan, Dravaza gas craters was burning during 40 years non-stop.
Distant crater sightings
The uniqueness of the Dravaza crater is the appearance of a flame in a large crater hole.
Even though underneath there is clearly a pool of water. This unusual phenomenon was
discovered in 1971, but until now the fire was still burning above the crater. The diameter of
this crater is around 70 meters. Its depth is reported to reach 30 meters.
The crater even though its contents are water
Although inviting curiosity, there must be a number of reasons to reach the fire can
appear above the crater. The crater is thought to have been a place of former oil and gas
drilling since the days of the Soviet Union.
