Burning cavern in Davarez Russia
If someone imagined a gat to hell this is probably what it would look like, in fact the locals call it the “The Door to Hell”. Located in Uzbekistan near the small town of Davarez is this cavern that has been burning for 35 miles. Geologists drilling for gas found the giant cavern they found poison gas and being Russians they decided to ignite the gas to get rid of it.
The crater is more than 30 metres across and nearly twice as deep.
The Soviets have long since abandoned the site and rusting equipment is lying throughout the area.

The natural gas ignited more than 35 years ago still burns round the clock, and there is no estimate of how much as burned – this could be the source of all that global warming.

Carbon neutral pledge:
I wonder if the moon ignites it
Here at home we would soon find a way to biol water with that fire, then produce electicity, then a town, factories,greenhouses, business, commerce and maybe good vodka too, who knows. Now that communism is dead over there can we invest and build? Holy **** man, Free Heat!
The United States has several equivalent sites, but instead of natural gas, it’s coal burning in old mines. Several small towns in Illinois and Pennsylvania have been abandoned because of the danger from carbon monoxide and sinkholes. And no, there are no plans to inject water into the burning mines to turn them into steam generators. Writing a plan that would satisfy all of the various Federal agencies involved would probably take centuries.
why would you want to build a town around that… Hell hole…
WE ARE SCREWED , LIVE LIKE THERE IS NO TOMORROW!
why doesn’t it glow in the daytime

Rather its true or not, I still beleive in Heven and Hell and I would rather keep Jesus in my life and not be scared. Beleive in jesus and if you arent sure about religion your best bet would be to lead toward jesus. Cause If there for sure is a hell wouldnt you rather not be in the fires of HELL and go to the Gates of Heven?
wow, maybe Al Gore should jump on this …….. Take his Carbon Tax credits and tax Russia
So “Sharee” is saying you should believe in “Jesus” just in case? Why not Bhudda or Mohommad or the Flying Spaghetti Monster for that matter? Please take the religious rants to church. They are not needed here.
I’ve read the story on this place and they didn’t necessarily just ignite it to get rid of it. They were building tower to drill and pipe the gas to local towns etc and it collapsed into the ground. They lit the fire to keep too much natural gas from escaping (health hazard) and prevent any uncontrolled fires. I’d love to see it in person! Beautiful photo’s, thanks for posting!
sharee is an idiot
Belle, Sharee is indeed an idiot because of all of the Jesus talk.
But her idea is most commonly referred to as Pascal’s Wager:
Pascal’s Wager (or Pascal’s Gambit) is a suggestion posed by the French philosopher Blaise Pascal that even though the existence of God cannot be determined through reason, a person should “wager” as though God exists, because so living has everything to gain, and nothing to lose. It was set out in note 233 of his Pensées, a posthumously published collection of notes made by Pascal in his last years as he worked on a treatise on Christian apologetics.
for the same reason dying people get religious hey Mike.
