Located in the middle of the Karakum desert in Darvaza, Turkmenistan, a hole with a diameter of 230 ft has burned continuously for 35 years.  A drilling project in this natural gas rich area went wrong. The crew's decision to burn off the poisonous gases ultimately led to the creation of this "Door to Hell."
