The Gates of Hell in Turkmenistan 🔥

The Gates of Hell crater was created in 1971 when a Soviet drilling rig accidentally punched into a massive underground natural gas cavern, causing the ground to collapse and the entire drilling rig to fall in. Having punctured a pocket of gas, poisonous fumes began leaking at an alarming rate. To head off a potential environmental catastrophe, the Soviets set the hole alight, figuring it would stop burning within a few weeks. Decades later, and the fiery pit is still going strong.

What an insane adventure! Ethiopia, my 90th UN country. Pictured: the Dallol sulfur springs at the Danakil Depression in Afar.
The springs are being investigated to help understand how life might arise on other planets and moons. Many microorganisms living here are extremophilic microbes.
