At the center of the Karamoo Desert in Turkmenistan is the Darvaza gas crater, with a depth of 60 meters in diameter and a depth of 20 meters, considered at the “Ferry Gate” for the continued burning there.
This crater appeared in 1971 during a local study by geologists.
When they began to secure the land, the earth suddenly collapsed and a large crater formed from which the gas flowed.
As it turned out, there was a void beneath the surface of the earth. Fortunately, none of the researchers were hurt. And to prevent the poisoning of harmful gases, humans and animals living nearby decided to burn.
After the crater was set on fire, emissions were expected to emerge in a few days. However, the burning of Darvaza continues to burn this day. /Lajmi.net/
