What is the "Gate of Hell" in Turkmenistan: an anomaly that few people know about
Anomalies sometimes occur on the planet, which for many people evoke close associations with the underworld.
One of these sinister and mysterious objects is located on the territory of Turkmenistan.
What is this so-called "Gates of Hell"?
This spectacle is truly capable of instilling fear and other negative emotions in those who see it. We are talking about a kind of underground "bonfire" whose diameter is several tens of meters.
Because of its impressive size, some people actually feel that hell is too close. This is why Darvaza got its unofficial name.
But this anomaly has a laconic scientific explanation, in which there is no mysticism.
As it turned out, in the seventies of the last century, gas extraction was carried out on the territory of Turkmenistan. In the process, it was not possible to find a way to the gas itself, since specialists came across a void.
A collapse occurred. Gas began to flow through the resulting crack.
In order to keep the gas under control, the experts came to the decision to set it on fire. They believed that the gas would soon run out and the problem would be solved.
But the "Gates of Hell" are still open and have become one of the most famous attractions: many tourists dream of seeing the anomaly with their own eyes.
