A giant hole in Karakorum desert of Turkmenistan is burning from 45 years and is being called ‘Door To Hell’ by people around the world.
The hole was a drilling site in 1971 during soviet era but the ground beneath the drilling collapsed forming a hole.
The Russian feared that poisonous will be released and decided to burn a fire which will consume the gas with days, but to their astonishment the fire is still burning after 45 years.
The whole is 70 meters in diameter and in night can be seen from many kilometers away.
