    Where in the hell is Turkmenistan? Unless you are a political junkie, you are probably heading right to Google Maps to find out.

    The “Door to Hell” (aka Darvaza gas crater) is a small crater located in one of the world’s largest deserts.

    A collapsing drilling rig setup by Soviet engineers fell into an underground cavern where it exposed dangerous gases. These harmful gases were deliberately set on fire and continue to burn to this day which is now over 50 years.
